The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) defines a residential building as one where 85 percent or more of its total floor area is dedicated to residential usage.[1]
Currently, the tallest residential building in the world is Central Park Tower in a part of Midtown Manhattan, New York City, colloquially referred to as "Billionaires' Row".[2] It was topped out at a height of 472.4 metres (1,550 ft) in 2019.
As of 2024, New York City is also home to all top three tallest residential buildings in the world, while Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has five of the ten tallest.[3][4]
A single-function tall building is defined as one where 85% or more of its total floor area is dedicated to a single usage.
