Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building, irrespective of material or function of the highest element (i.e., including antennae, flagpoles, signage and other functional-technical equipment).
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage, flag poles or other functional-technical equipment. This measurement is the most widely utilized and is employed to define the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) rankings of the "World's Tallest Buildings."
The number of floors above ground should include the ground floor level and be the number of main floors above ground, including any significant mezzanine floors and major mechanical plant floors. Mechanical mezzanines should not be included if they have a significantly smaller floor area than the major floors below. Similarly, mechanical penthouses or plant rooms protruding above the general roof area should not be counted. Note: CTBUH floor counts may differ from published accounts, as it is common in some regions of the world for certain floor levels not to be included (e.g., the level 4, 14, 24, etc. in Hong Kong).

The Sail at Marina Bay, Singapore

As the world population continues to grow exponentially, it is anticipated that development of suburban properties will become less popular as it stretches our natural...
The Sail @ Marina Bay takes its inspiration from the wind, water and sun. The design resembles a sculpture created by the hands of nature, with two soaring towers—split as if by water—at a sculpted base. The mixed-use building will launch the central business district’s transition to a “Live/Work/Play” philosophy by providing apartment units, restaurants, health clubs, recreation decks with pools and tennis courts, and parking.
This tower is poised to become a new destination within the rich and diverse fabric of Singapore, while setting a benchmark for the future buildings along Marina Bay. Over 65% of the apartments have panoramic views of the Marina Bay and the central city’s cultural, entertainment, and retail areas. The five “6-star” penthouses are the highest elevation for any residence in Singapore, with breathtaking views of the sea and islands beyond. Many units feature “borrowed light” bedrooms in which sliding glass doors separate the bedroom from the main space while still allowing light into the bedroom area. The project includes amenities such as a hotel-style concierge service, a spa, and an executive club lounge with dining facilities.
