List of skyscrapers by floor area
This article needs to be updated . The reason given is: there may be entries missing from the list. Additionally, some floor areas refer solely to a skyscraper, while others include adjoining podiums or even other skyscrapers within a complex, which might cause confusion. Further revisions will be needed to clearly distinguish whether the floor area provided represents only the skyscraper or the entire complex. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (December 2024 )
Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower , currently the world's largest skyscraper by floor area.
This list of skyscrapers by floor area includes the largest skyscrapers in the world, measured in square meters (m2 ) and square feet (sq ft). To qualify as a skyscraper, a structure must be self-supporting, without relying on tension cables or external supports for stability, and must reach a minimum height of 150 meters (492 feet). Furthermore, at least 50% of its height must consist of habitable floor space.[ 1] Structures such as communication and observation towers —like Tokyo Skytree , the CN Tower , or the Eiffel Tower —are categorized as non-building structures and are therefore excluded from this article (see list of tallest buildings and structures ).
As of December 2024, and based on the criteria outlined above, the world's largest skyscraper by floor area is Tokyo's Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower , with 461,774 m2 (4,970,490 sq ft) of floor area. Tokyo and New York City are the cities with the most skyscrapers included in the list, while China leads as the country with the highest number of entries overall.
