Taipei 101 has 101 stories above ground (hence the name) and five under ground. It holds three out of the four official World's Tallest Building titles designated by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The four categories are:
Ground to pinnacle - currently held by the Sears Tower (529 m = 1736ft)
Ground to structural top - formerly held by the Petronas Twin Towers (452 m = 1483ft)
Ground to roof - formerly held by the Sears Tower (431 m = 1430ft)
Ground to highest occupied floor - formerly held by the Sears Tower

I wouldnt want to be the glass cleaner on that building. You would always have to adjust the scaffold to reach the glass. :idea:
