The Sail@marina Bay in Singapore is rising at 245m. It is one of the world's top ten 6-star residential building to be built.

The towers that immediately spring to mind for me are:
Burj Dubai Shanghai World Financial Center Union Square 7, Hong Kong Trump Tower, Chicago 1 Bryant Park, New York Sail@marina Bay, Singapore I think I would probably go with Burj Dubai first, for its sheer height, followed by SWFC (even with the redesign, it's still great). Not sure what my 3rd choice would be though.

The future tallest in HK is The International Commerce Centre. It's not Union Square 7 anymore.

There have a number of very interesting recently-finished skyscrapers around the world. The first one that came to my mind was Turning Torso, whose geometry defies the conventional skyscraper look. Next is the simplicity and elegance of Philadelphia's Cira Centre, which makes good use of an under-used site in the downtown area (Center City). Hearst happens to be still under construction, so I picked that one.

Comcast Tower in Philly is a good shout also - its height and stature are absolutely perfect, giving Philly the pinnacle tower that it has so deserved.
