Just under 300 meters, or something like that. It's really thin, so it looks tall...

I totally adore Frankfurt's Messturm:
image hosted on flickr  ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/8357909...n/photostream/ ) image hosted on flickr  Messeturm in Frankfurt von baum_robert auf Flickr image hosted on flickr  long way to the top von snsweb auf Flickr Such a great timeless design. Could have been build right after the ESB or the Chrysler, or just 2 years ago. In fact its over 20 years old already. Actually my favorite skyscraper of all.

That tower is like a tribute to geometry. A round and a square shape intersected, and a pyramidal top. But I prefer Cesar Pelli's posmodernism.

Mine are One & Two Liberty Place in Philadelphia, to me these are the most iconic American skyscrapers outside of New York and Chicago.

And on second thought, the World Financial Center towers of New York:
