CTBUH Year in Review: Tall Trends of 2016

CTBUH Year in Review: Tall Trends of 2016

At the beginning of each year, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) publishes a study and report (download PDF) that examines all 200-meter-plus tall buildings that were completed during the previous year. Click the tabs below to see charts related to each topic. The charts and descriptions are interactive. You can click on them to view more information on The Skyscraper Center, our tall building database.

Note: Only countries with at least two completions in 2016 are included in this chart. One tall building 200 m+ in height was also completed during 2016 in these countries: Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Poland, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

For the ninth year running, China had the most 200-meter-plus completions with 84, representing 67% of the global 2016 total, and marking a 24% increase over its previous record of 68 in 2015.

The United States took second place with seven completions, and South Korea followed closely with six. Meanwhile, Indonesia came in fourth with five completions and the Philippines and Qatar trailed with four.
