The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) marked the completion of 100 supertall buildings (300 m or taller) worldwide when buyers closed on their residences in 432 Park Avenue in New York City (NYC) on December 23, 2015. The 425.5-m-tall superslim tower is the tallest all-residential building worldwide and the 14th tallest overall. Although most supertalls are in Asia and the Middle East, NYC continues to be a supertall hotspot with seven supertalls -- second only to Dubai. While the world's first 50 supertalls were built in the 80-year span between 1930 and 2010, they are now multiplying at a remarkable pace with the number doubling to 100 in only five years.
