Taipei 101, located in Xinyi District, Taiwan, is the tallest building in the world according to three of the four standards designated by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. On this date, a pinnacle was placed on its rooftop, allowing it to surpass the height of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by 57 m (188 ft). Because five of Taipei 101's stories are underground, it is not the tallest building from ground to pinnacle; what building boasts that distinction?
