Is Petronas Twin Towers still in top 10 tallest tower in the world?

Is Petronas Twin Towers still in top 10 tallest tower in the world?

It’s not even in the top 15 tallest in the world today

Take a look at the below which I saw in Kashif Ansari’s FB page Kashif is the Group CEO at IQI Global and Co Founder & Group CEO at Juwai IQI.

Based on the below top 15 of the World’s Tallest Buildings, even the 15th is much taller than Petronas Twin Towers.

What title is still the domain of Petronas Twin Towers?

This is what ChatGPT says of Petronas Twin Towers.

“They were completed in 1998 and were the world’s tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 (a title later taken by Taipei 101). Encyclopedia Britannica

Although there are individual skyscrapers taller than them today (like Burj Khalifa and others), no other twin building pair has surpassed their height. Guinness World Records

So yes — they’re still officially the tallest twin towers in the world!.”

Marketing is all about perspective, really

I continue to share with everyone that if they want to see the TALLEST TWIN TOWERS in the world, they must visit Petronas Twin Towers. Some of them would say that my information is very old. Some would say the tallest is Burj Khalifa. I would tell them that they are right and then I would tell them that I have also been there before just this past August 2025.

Then, I reminded them that I am talking about the tallest twin towers. I do not care how tall a single tower could go up to. It can even go up to 1km if they can but we are not competing against that category. We are running in the twin towers category. Haha. By the way, I do not think many would want to run in the twin towers category because they would prefer to build higher as this will receive a lot more coverage.

Add up the two towers of Petronas Twin Towers, can?

Each tower is 451.9m tall. So, if these two towers are added on top of the other, it would be 903.8 meters lah. Haha. This is 75.8 meters taller than Burj Khalifa. 🙂 This is why when you debate with me, my perspective is a simple one. Come visit Petronas Twin Towers, take a photo with it in the day and then the night in order to realize how amazing the twin towers look. Whether we look at it as twin tower or adding two towers into one, Petronas Twin Towers are still tallest in the world.

Properties overlooking the Petronas Twin Towers always carry a premium too

Here are some of the condos which usually will advertise the fact that the units for sale can see the Petronas Twin Towers. Yes, obviously all carry with them premium prices per sq ft as well. Personally I rate anything above RM1,200 per sq ft as premium because RM1,000,000 at RM1,200 per ft is just a 800 sq ft unit yeah. Size wise, room number wise and typical layout wise may be more suitable for a couple and yet price already hit RM1,000,000.

No need to stay in any unit just to have a Petronas Twin Towers. We can still visit it anytime and take lots of photos too.
