What does this number measure?
The engineering firm Arup gives 678.9 m for the Merdeka 118 tower in Kuala Lumpur. The compared height includes its architectural spire; it is neither the highest occupied floor nor an altitude above sea level. The silhouette reads from base to tip; the glass and façade details are interpreted.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Architectural height convention, including the spire; no claim to the height of occupied space.
Interpreted elevation of Merdeka 118. From the base to the spire tip: reference architectural height of 678.9 m. The façade and small details are artistic, not a construction survey.
