Tallest Building in World?

Wayne asked:


Chicago is going to build a 2000 ft. tall Condo/Hotel and the Chicago
Tribune said it would be the tallest in the USA, I knew this was wrong. the Petronas Towers sculpture things at the top are barely taller than the Sears Tower. And I know Taiwan built the tallest at 1667 ft. high. in 2004. Now why wouldn’t a Chicago Paper, where I live, boast that it will greatly exceed the tallest, and once again
be the King of Skycrapers??? it will be 333 ft higher. and the Tallest in the World!

Tina Get The Axe! asked:


Like is there an average price say for per Square foot? How much do 30+ story buildings cost too build? I know the price’s for all the big ones like, The Sears tower, The Empire State Building, The CN tower and The Burj Dubai but I just want too know the average for 30+ ones, and what makes them cost so much, like whats the big thing that costs the most when building one? Could you calculate the costs saying like, if a 30 story building costs this much then times that price by 2 for a 60 story one or would it be a different price completely.

Thanks for answering!
