Is Burj Khalifa taller than Taipei 101 when measured to their architectural tops?

Taipei 101 still towers over its city and once led the lists of the world’s tallest buildings, so it can be surprising how far the Burj Khalifa outgrew it. Measured to their architectural tops, including spires but not antennas, the Burj Khalifa reaches 828 m and Taipei 101 reaches 508 m. That makes the Burj Khalifa about 1.6 times as tall, a difference of 320 m, almost the height of the Eiffel Tower stacked on top of Taipei 101. Skyscrapers have several published heights, such as the architectural top, the highest occupied floor and the very tip, and each gives a different number. This duel uses the architectural top for both buildings, the measure used by the Skyscraper Center’s database, so the two are compared on the same basis.
