What is the highest building you have never seen ?

For me its the montparnasse tower which is 210m tall. And the eiffel tower 321m (but its not a building).

CN Tower is the Tallest Building I have ever seen. It is
553m -- 1815 Feet TALL


It eats the Space Needle

Tallest building must be Pirelli Building in Milan, 127m tall. I've only seen 7 buildings which is over 100m. I've seen two observation towers, 10+ antennas, two churchs and 3+ platforms over 100m.

4) Torre Albergo, Milan - 115m
5) Porthuset, Oslo - 111m

Tallest tower I've seen is the Eiffel Tower (321m).
Tallest office building I've seen is 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf (235m).

millenium tower miami- 240 m/789ft

Highest building I've ever seen was 1 WTC at 417 m/1368 ft.

Berlin - Fernsehturm (TV-tower) --> 368 m

CN Tower...at the moment it can't be topped...

When it comes to skyscrapers... the sadly departed WTC towers, though I was to young to really remember them at the time.

Tallest tower, the CN Tower, back in 1995. 553 m
Tallest building (spire), Petronas, in 2003. 452 m
Tallest building (roof), Empire State Building, in 2003. 381 m

However, the highest building I've "never" seen is the Taipei 101 lol.

Jin Mao building.

Twin Towers of the World Trade Center (I went to the top 3 weeks before 9-11)

http://www.4english.cn/travel/World-Tour/world%20trade%20center-2.jpg

I've been to the top viewing pod on the CN Tower.

Been to the viewing areas of the Sears Tower and John Hancock in Chicago.

One of the World Trade Center buildings and the Empire State Building in New York.

I would have gone up the Post Office Tower in London when I visited back in 1977 as a wee lad, but it's viewing area had been shut down because of a recent bombing or bomb attempt.

The mighty First Wisconsin building in Milwaukee at a whopping 600 feet or so.

The tallest building in Atlanta I've been up is the Westin Peachtree at about 720 feet. I wish the Bank of America had saved a higher floor for a viewing area, but no luck.

the tallest building ive ever seen is WTc.....but too bad its not there nymore...then come sESB...then a lottaa other buildings hehe

Tallest Tower: Fernsehturm, Berlin
Tallest Highrise: 1 Canada Square, London
Tallest Church Tower: Church Tower of St.Nikolai ruin, Hamburg -> 147m

seen: sears tower
been in: world trade center

Tallest Tower I ever seen- CN
Tallest Building I ever seen- WTC

Anything taller than that I never seen.

ACTUALLY, the TALLEST building in the world ACCORDING to the 2003 Guinness World Records, is the CN Tower in Toronto.

Saw the

Sears tower...

Also saw CN tower, the tallest building with spires- ESB
Tallest building without spire or antenna is AON building..

But also saw Taipei 101, in Pictures only...

Sears Tower at 1450ft. Not sure what that is in meters so I didn't vote.

442 m

2 IFC in Hong Kong 415m
The highest floor i have been was the 69th floor from Landmark Tower (273m over gound)
But i think Shung Hing Square in Shenzhen was a little bit higher. The observation floor was on the 69th floor, too.

Feet are the same as meters, so 1450 feet would be 1450 meters.

Just kidding. I believe it's 3.2 or so feet per meter.

Tallest tower: Fernsehturm
Tallest building: 1 Canada square

I assume you mean 'ever seen'...

In that case the tallest building I've seen is the Empire State Building

Library Tower in LA

2IFC Hong Kong

tallest I've been in is Sydney's Central - 307m
seen eureka u/c but ut would be -300m
seen petronas as well

The tallest building I ever see was WTC complex.

I think it has to be:
1. Eiffel Tower, Paris;
2. Donauturm, Vienna;
3. 1 Canada Square, London (saw that from the London Eye);
4. Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw;
5. Montparnasse Tower, Paris.

But with number 2, 3 and 4 I wasn't addicted to skyscrapers yet.

And maybe within 2 weeks I'll see the Lakihegyi Antennatorony in Budapest (314m).

Tallest skyscraper: Empire State Building, NYC (381 m)
Tallest skyscraper u/c: Bloomberg Tower, NYC (246 m) (in May 2004)
Tallest tower: Kaknästornet, Stockholm (155 m)
Tallest church: Uppsala Domkyrka, Uppsala (119 m)

The highest buildings I've seen with my own eyes are:

CN Tower (been inside)
the late WTC, New York
Jin Mao Tower (been inside)
Oriental Pearl (been inside)
2IFC

all over 400m

The tallest building I've seen is:

DLI 63 Building in Seoul (249 m and 60 floors)

and I've actually also been inside the building and seen Seoul from up there.

petronas thats 459.1 meters high i hav seen only allowed 2 go until the skybridge though

@ FM2258:
To be exactly, 1 foot = 0.3048 m, so 1450 feet is about 442m.

Taipei 101 and 2IFC

the tallest i have seen is Petronas(452m) and Jin Mao Tower(421.5m)

The tallest I've seen (and been in ) is the Sears Tower !! When I got in front of it I couldn't believe that I was there...I really thought that I was in a movie or something...it's only when looking at the pics after that I believed I was there ... lol

I have been to them numerous time when they were up, and one of my last looks of them was when I was on the ESB looking to the Twins just four days before they were destroyed as well as seeing the first plane hitting them from the Throgs Neck Br. :(

The three tallest skyscrapers I've ever seen are:

Sears Tower

The tallest building I've seen, and been to the top of, was the Empire State Building on November 9th, 2001.

As many times as I've passed near Chicago on I-80, I've never traveled into the city to check out Sears.

He he he. Well, I should work there for 11 months, but I have never felt sooo strange and abroad as in Shanghai, so I came back after 9 days! It is surely the most impressive city I have ever visited, in terms of skyscrapers. But visiting and living are two different things. But one day I will go there and visit it again, without panicking (;-) ). Perhaps next year... :cheers:

apparently no one knows how to read

I have seen, and I have been to the Sears Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the US.

I live in a shithole city, so the tallest I've ever seen was a 19 floor apartment. It might be 20 floors, I don't know.

Allthough I've been downtown Toronto, I've never really seen any of the buildings. I've seen the CN Tower, obviously, but as for that, most of Toronto I've never seen.

Glad to see only 1 <100m as this a ssc fan site after all that poor underprivileged little posterUntil July this year I was one of those unfortunate souls. The tallest building I'd seen was the 76m Holiday Inn (in my avatar) in Townsville but then I went to the 'big city' lol (Brisbane), and saw Riparian Plaza which is 200m to roof & 250m to spire.

You're lucky. I think everyone who has gotten a chance to see the WTC in person, before the twin towers were destroyed, is truly fortunate. We may never see a WTC like there was in NYC.

Tallest building I've ever seen is the Empire State Building. I wasn't able to visit NYC untill 2002 unfortunately :( Observation deck is AMAZING. I loved the view of midtown from up there. I think it's really one of the most amazing experiences one can have on this earth, seeing midtown Manhattan from the ESB. Especially if you love skyscrapers, like I know everyone here at SSC does :) As a lover of all things tall and amazing, I recommend to anyone who has never been a top the ESB, to atleast go once in your life. You won't regret it!! :)

Another one of my favorite views of NYC, is the seemingly endless skyscraper horizon created by Manhattan, seen from a distance in New Jersey. Words cannot describe how awe-inspiring it was to see this for the first time. My brain could almost not comprehend what my eyes were seeing. Nothing had prepared me to see such a gigantic and wondrous skyline. I could never have imagined the skyline to be so long and take up the whole horizon. Truly breathtaking. Sorry if I went too far off topic.

- CN tower
- WTC (1993)
- ESB

You're lucky. I think everyone who has gotten a chance to see the WTC in person, before the twin towers were destroyed, is truly fortunate. We may see never be a WTC like there was in NYC.

I saw the WTC but never really looked at it the way a skyscraper fan does. I was on holiday in New York back in 1995, when I was only 11 years old. I wasn't interested in skyscrapers, and only saw the towers from the ferry on the way to the statue of liberty. In 2003 I returned and could only stare at the sky and try to imagine what they would have looked like.

1. Old WTC
2. Empire State Building
3. Kingdom Center, Saudi Arabia
4. Eiffel Tower
5. Fasaliah Tower, Saudi Arabia
6. Canary Wharf, London

hmmmm let my guess.. the Burj Dubai. which i'm dying to see.
BTW the tallest i've seen is the sears tower!, but i just can't believe that the burj dubai is nearly twice it's height!!! every time i see a pic of the burj dubai. i can see where the sears tower's height is at. it just blows me away how low it is on the burj

CN Tower (but it doesn't count), so it goes to the nearby 1st Canadian Place in Toronto's Financial District.

Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw - 237m

The tallest building I've seen is Eiffel Tower, the tallest office building I've seen is 1 Canada Square in London.

The highest building i've NEVER seen? There's lots of buildings i've NEVER seen. But i think you mean "ever" seen.

The tallest building I've ever seen i guess would be the CN tower in Toronto. But if you don't consider that a building I guess the First Canadian Place building would be the tallest actual building i've seen.

For me it's the Sears Tower (inside and outside)

I have been to Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, NY (pre 9-11), and Chicago. So I have been to most of the world's premier skyscraper cities. I think the tallest building I have never seen is the Petronas Towers in KL. That will change when the Burj Dubai is completed, I don't forsee myself going there anytime soon.

WTC (NY) and Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur)

Eureka Tower 297m in melbourne

Ive seen loads of tall buildings (CN tower, Shanghai financial center, sears tower, empire state etc) but the building that seemed the tallest when looking at it was the Eiffel tower. The difference in scale between it and the rest of the city is really spectacular!

Never seen???
That would be the Burj Dubai. :lol:

If you mean, the tallest, that I have ever seen, then it must be the Eiffel Tower, I guess. :)

you need to increment ""the options ""

Building: Sears Tower (from a plane :tongue2:)

But i don't know, which is the highest floor I was standing in:

Rockefeller Center Observation Deck, 63th Floor of the Empire State Building or the observation deck of Fernsehturm in Berlin.

The highest building i've NEVER seen? There's lots of buildings i've NEVER seen. But i think you mean "ever" seen.



Also I was more confused as he had made the mistake 3 times, but then I saw he was not an english speaking forumer so maybe he does mean 'ever'

If that is the case...then the top 3 I have seen are...

ESB
Bank of America
Chrysler

Hehe, someone who gets it. I was wondering the same.

For me the Eiffel Tower.

i've seen BNI 46 tower 250 M

Building: Torre Caja Madrid, 250m.
Structure: Eiffel Tower.

By city:

U.S. Bank Tower - 310 meters, los angeles

Wachovia Financial Center - 233 meters, miami

Torre Norte - 158 meters, são paulo :cry:, didn't have the time to see the big ones in the center of the concrete jungle.

Santa Cruz - 107 meters, tallest in the city were I reside. Porto Alegre.

Only image I found: http://www.emporis.com/images/6/2007/12/578938.jpg source: Emporis.

Phoenix building - 50-45 meters? - tallest in my home town. Guaporé.

Petronas Towers

Library Tower - Los Angeles

the tallest I've seen with my own eyes was burj dubai (808m), but that was in the early construction phase (the tower was about 20-30 floors tall).

if that doesn't count: the next tallest was the CN tower in toronto, the sears tower in chicago and the WTC in nyc.


edit: uh, wait a minute, the title says: the highest building you have NEVER seen ?!

Canadian National Tower is the tallest I've seen, 553 metres.

i dont get this thread? highest buildings i have never seen?
but everybodys posting the highest buildings THEY HAVE seen...

I never saw a building higher than 150 m

Wait a minute, tallest I've NEVER seen? I'd imagine that's the Burj for just about everyone here...

Canary wharf in London 230m

I've seen Burj Dubai.....800 and more metres high!

i dont get this thread? highest buildings i have never seen?
but everybodys posting the highest buildings THEY HAVE seen...

Well, the thread question isn't well thought out. The answer would be the Burj Dubai for every person on the planet except people who've seen the Burj Dubai. For those people there is no answer. It makes more sense to list the tallest building you have seen. From that information it follows that you've not seen anything taller.

;)

he/she probable ment EVER instead of NEVER

^ He meant "ever". The person who started this thread was a French, and in french you would say it this way. "Ever" is the same as "never" in this context, it's hard to explain!

Ok.............In Australia I visited the top of the AMP, Sydney in 1963...the tallest building in Australia at the time.Living in Melbourne I often found my way into buildings under construction...or newly completed...not the security of today ! But climbing 40 floors of stairs was hard,
In Melbourne I have visted the observation deck of the Rialto.....Australia's tallest office tower since the 80's. Then went to the observation deck of the Eureka Tower......our tallest residential tower....and the world's tallest.....Yep, Q1 in Queensland had a big stick on top.
Back in 2000 at last went to the observation decks of the Sears Tower and Hancock Towers in Chicago.....Then the Empire State deck and WTC observation and roof decks in New York.....now a lasting memory ! Then to Europe....went into the Docklands tower in London...not the top....The Berlin Tower....you know the ball on the spike. The back in 2007 went up to the top of the Carrew Tower? in Cincinnati........amazed there was no guard rails up there ? Back in New York finally got to the top of the mast of the Empire State Building..........the Top of the Rock, NY. went into the lobby of the Chrysler and Flatiron NY...and the Tallest building in LA...who needs an observation deck there ? love LA but can't see that far....and that pyramid shaped building in SF......Now there are lots taller in Asia and the middle east but I have enjoyed the wonder of my childhood fantasies.

Back in '89 I visited NYC and ventured into 2 World Trade Center

Why is it called 1 Canada Square?


I'm assuming you're referring to the building in Canary Wharf, London? Canada Square was built by Canadian real estate firm Olympia & York and tried to re-create a Canadian style office tower complex. It took its cues chiefly from downtown Toronto.

The whole area has a lot of Canadian connections. The subway stop is called Canada Water, and sits not far from 'Canada Dock', so called due to large scale trans-Atlantic shipping that took place from the 1900s onward between London and Canada.

Since when is the CN tower considered as a "building"?

Abraj al Bait.

Shanghai World Financial Center.

Empire State Building which is either 300-400m or 400+m depending on how you measure it.

Burj Khalifa, i am one of the lucky bastards. 8 hour transit in dubai is the best thing that can happen when flying from europe to asia :cheers:

second tallest is the petronas twins, only a few weeks after i saw Burj Khalifa :cheers:

i just stood in front of the TV Tower in Berlin, but 368m are also tall :D

1 wtc, then empire state building

CN tower!

http://i49.tinypic.com/j8k3rp.png

building? Empire state building. (I was last in new york just before 1WTC surpassed the Empire state)

Stucture? CN tower.

It says NEVER seen, so I chose 400m (plenty of those nowadays, haha). However tallest I HAVE seen is ESB, which is still 400+ meters to the tip. I saw 1WTC when it was ~1,000 feet, but it wasn't even close to topping out then. :cheers:

Shanghai Financial Center :banana:

I haven't seen any of the tallest in the world yet. :(

Willis Tower, Old World Trade Center, CN Tower, and some random masts in North Carolina that are taller than all of them (about 2000'/609m).

Actually forget everything I just said. The tallest building I have NEVER seen is Burj Khalifa.

I have never seen any skyscraper taller than Petronas Towers.

I repeat, CN TOWER!!

Burj Khalifa

I think the tallest building in the world is The Bruj in Dubai. It’s been believed that Dbai is a home for world’s tallest hotel, largest mall, largest man-made port and they’re about to add one more to the list: say the Burj Dubai.

Where have you been hiding, Burj Dubai is renamed to Burj Khalifa, which is currently the highest manmade building in the world.

You are right about the hotel part, I think all 5 tallest hotel in the world are in Dubai. not counting NK's Ryugyong, as it is not ready yet.

Isn't that tower in Mecca the tallest hotel?

Isn't that tower in Mecca the tallest hotel? Yes, if we also count mix use.

Shit! I just realized that the thread is called "The highest building you have never seen"!
:lol:

Came here to say that. For the vast majority of posters I think the Burj Khalifa wins that!

^^ The 7 who put under 100m must travel a lot. :lol:

This is somewhat a ridiculous thread tbqh

The highest for me would be 2IFC in Hong Kong.

I think it's 30 St Mary Axe in London, 180m. The tallest structure I've ever seen is Rzeszów's (Poland) power station chimney, 203m.
