The Most Expensive Skyscrapers in the World

Skyscrapers are viewed as a symbol of cultural expression, as new designs and spectacular heights define these enormous buildings. These architectural marvels are usually the work of collaboration, including investors, architects, and builders. While the costs to construct a skyscraper have climbed over the past decade, the recent acceleration in expenses reflected in Saudi Arabia’s desire to create the world's largest clock tower has created a sharp trajectory for dazzling skyscraper expenses.

Over 2 decades, the designs used to create mega skyscrapers have become more important than the height of these buildings. Architects have created extraordinary works of art in skyscrapers, allowing costs to skyrocket. In fact, the most expensive skyscraper, completed in 2019, was nearly 3-times the cost of the prior most expensive building. Since the turn of the century, the most expensive skyscraper has increased 15 fold, setting a very robust trajectory for the future skyscraper costs.
