List of tallest freestanding structures

The Burj Khalifa is the tallest structure ever built, with a pinnacle height of 830 m (2722 ft) tall. The 20th and 21st centuries marked a notable uptick in terms of construction of tall structures. The majority of supertall structures are in Asia. Most of the tallest structures during that time period have been guyed masts, which are not considered freestanding as they require guy wires for support.
