The top five skyscrapers of 2024.

The best skyscraper of the past year was the pair of Dubai towers, One Za’abeel. The complex features two buildings with 57 and 67 floors, built on a shared foundation.

The towers are connected by the world’s longest panoramic “sky podium,” The Link, which is situated 100 meters above the ground. Inside, there will be several upscale restaurants, a lounge bar, and an observation deck.

In second place is the pair of residential skyscrapers, One Domino Square, designed by Selldorf Architects. They are clad in shimmering porcelain tiles.

Taking third place is one of the wide skyscrapers completed in 2024 — the 24-story EPIQ building, which rises next to La Carolina Central Park in Quito, Ecuador.

This 101-meter tall skyscraper consists of two curved, G-shaped blocks stacked on top of each other, featuring a series of open terraces.

In San Francisco, the architectural firm Foster + Partners completed a major renovation of the iconic Transamerica Pyramid building, which opened in 1972.

The firm aimed to “restore the logic” of the 260-meter tall office building by renovating original elements and connecting it to a new, adjacent park.

The final building on the Dezeen list is a stepped “tower group” next to Discovery Green Park in downtown Houston, Texas. Named 1550 on the Green, the structure comprises six interconnected towers that gently curve, with the tallest block reaching 137 meters in height.
