A little more perspective
The Skyscraper Center separates tip height from architectural height for the Chicago tower. This record includes the two broadcast masts shown in the artwork, making 527 meters the matching endpoint.
Beside Taipei 101, Willis Tower’s highest tip stands 19 meters higher at these stated values. That does not establish an architectural-height ranking: Taipei’s spire counts in that category while Willis Tower’s broadcast antennas do not.
