A little more perspective

The Skyscraper Center lists architectural and tip height at 462 meters. The record measures the completed tower itself, excluding the footprint and separate buildings of the surrounding development.

Its tip stands 10.1 meters above Petronas Tower 1 and 10.4 meters below Central Park Tower at these stated values. The twisting pointed silhouette offers a useful contrast with both a tiered spire and a flat upper roof.
