Currently? That's a hard one. But up until 9/11, it was one of the Twin Towers.
I don’t think there were any apartments in the WTC.

There are some sky scrapers in Dubai, UAE that are hundreds (thousands?) of feet in the air and are so high that some apartments are above the clouds. They also have some pretty cool amenities. The climate is too hot in the UAE for me.

There are buildings in NYC on billionaire row that are similar to the above, but sadly I am priced out of these apartments.

What are the critical amenities for you?
I like to have a balcony with a view, preferably of some kind of body of water. Also important is a gym/fitness center in the building, along with a pool, and some type of a lounge. It is also preferable to have some kind of rooftop seating area that is open 24/7. Floor to dealing windows are also important.
the search is over the world. show us one you like the most... of course it's not like in school where you have only one chance if ever to answer. it's an evoluting process... in short the greatest for habitation skyscrapper ever built and still standing in the world.

not some project on VR or some construction site. and it must be still standing. and price is irrelevant to the discussion. however we can talk about cost Smiley.
There are plenty of buildings that meet my above criteria. The "best" in my view would be a building that meets the above criteria whose highest apartment is the highest above the ground. It would be awesome to find a building that has an available apartment that I could live in that would have be living above the clouds. Regardless of price, NYC is run so badly that I am not sure I would want to live there today, although London Breed does not do a much better job at running her city.

This is really a big fat question. I don't think I have a favorite skyscraper but I only prefer something that is comfortable for me where either can always relax after work and cash one two three fun with neighbors. And moreover I have phobia for height and I don't always like it going so higher than my eyes can bear. Just three or four storeys is okey for me.

please dude... seriously? The goal of the post is simple to find the best skyscrapper in the world, not some low tech town house with 3-4 floors...

Can we build a horizontal skyscraper so you can get to the top directly from the ground-level? Would that keep your fear of heights a bit more stabilized?

Maybe we could knock one over and do it that way.
