A little more perspective

The Skyscraper Center gives 318.9 meters to the highest tip. This reference includes the complete Art Deco crown rather than stopping at the top occupied floor.

The catalog’s 330-meter Eiffel Tower is 11.1 meters higher at the stated values. Their narrow tips can look similar from a distance, but the Chrysler Building places a much broader occupied shaft beneath its crown.
