A little more perspective
Project steel supplier ArcelorMittal publishes 541.3 meters in its project facts and identifies the spire-inclusive height in the description. The measurement registry also lists 541.3 meters to the architectural top. The whole-foot 1,776-foot figure should not be converted into an assertion of extra survey precision.
The tapered facade and slender spire help show why a tower’s tip can be far above its occupied floors. Compare the complete structure with the Empire State Building, then read both height definitions.
