  Petronas Twin Towers become the tallest building in the world until the completion of Taipei 101 in 2004, as measured up to the structural components (height, not antenna). [4] Peak (spire) is considered as an important part of building architecture, and if changed can be significantly altered the appearance and architecture of buildings, while the antenna can be installed or removed without affecting the appearance of buildings. Petronas Twin Towers is still the tallest twin buildings in the world.

The towers Willis (formerly Spears) and the World Trade Center was built dngan 110 level may be occupied, which is over 22 levels against the Petronas Twin Towers have 88 floors. Roof and the highest level of the tower Willis and World Trade Center rather than the height of the roof and the highest level of the Petronas Twin Towers. Willis Antenna Tower is the highest in the 75 meter (246 ft) higher than the tops of the Petronas Twin Towers. However, according to the rules and guidelines CTBUH, [3] Willis tower antennas are not taken into account as part of its architectural features. [6] In contrast, the tops of the Petronas Towers in height measurement is calculated as a non-pole antenna. Therefore, to overcome the height of the Petronas Twin Towers Towers Willis official with the difference of 10 meters (33 ft), while Menara Willis more levels and a greater number kakian square.
