Key Tower is a skyscraper in on Public Square in downtown Cleveland, Ohio designed by architect César Pelli. It is the tallest building in the city, surpassing the Terminal Tower, as well as the tallest building in Ohio and the 15th tallest building in the United States. Key Tower reaches 57 stories or 947 ft (289 m) to the top of its spire, and it can be visible for up to twenty miles away. The tower includes about 1.5 million square feet (139,355 m²) of office space.

It was originally built as the Society Center but was renamed when Society Bank acquired Key Bank. Society had recently acquired Ameritrust and canceled Ameritrust's plans for an even taller building on Public Square. Key Tower is owned and was developed by The Richard E. Jacobs Group, and Key Bank's official headquarters occupy most of the tower.

The Williams Tower (formerly the Transco Tower), is a skyscraper located in the Uptown District of Houston. It was designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, in association with Houston-based Morris-Aubry Architects, and erected in 1983. The tower is among Houston's most visible buildings and can be seen from as far away as Missouri City, a nearby suburb. The building is the 4th tallest in Texas and the 20th tallest in the United States.

On the 51st floor is a sky lobby and observation deck, which due to security reasons is no longer open to the public.

During the night-time hours, the building is defined by a 7,000 watt beacon that sweeps across the sky and can be seen up to 40 miles (64 km) away on a clear night. Being topped by such a beacon, the tower harkens back to the Palmolive Building in Chicago, Illinois. The building, along with its beacon, is a Houston landmark that identifines the Uptown Houston district.

The DLI (Daehan Life Insurance) 63 Building (63 빌딩) is a skyscraper on Yeouido Island, overlooking the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. At 249 meters (817 feet) high, it is the 3rd tallest building in South Korea, the 102nd tallest building worldwide, and is a Korean icon among skyscrapers. 63 probably refers to the building's 63 official stories, of which 60 are above ground level. The top floor nevertheless is considered the 63rd floor. Construction was completed in 1985. At that time, the 63 Building was the tallest building in Asia; it lost this title to the OUB Centre one year later, but remained the tallest building in South Korea until Mok-dong Hyperion I, Tower A surpassed it in 2002.

The lower floors house a large shopping area with approximately 90 stores, an Imax Theater, and an aquarium. A convention center and banquet hall are also housed within the building. The observation deck (known as 63 Golden Tower) on the top floor is a popular place to go to see a good view of Seoul. Special observation elevators are also available; they are equipped with windows to enable their passengers to view the city as they ride up to (or down from) the observation deck. As of August 1, 2005, though, renovations have temporarily closed the 1st Basement floor, meaning that the aquarium and theater are temporarily closed. The observation deck remains open, though through a different entrance than usual.

The MLC Centre is a skyscraper in Sydney, Australia. This office building is 228 metres (748 feet) high and has 67 storeys. Occupants include the Sydney Consulate of the United States of America. The podium of the building includes a shopping centre with several exclusive fashion labels, a cinema, and a 1,186 seat theatre, the Theatre Royal.

The building was designed by Sydney architect Harry Seidler, and it remains one of his most definitive works. The building's construction was controversial, since it brought about the demolition in 1972 of the opulent 19th century Hotel Australia, which formerly stood on the site, as well as much of the historic Rowe Street precinct.

The building is a stark white, modernist column in an octagonal floorplan, with eight massive load-bearing columns in the corners that taper slightly towards the top. It is one of the world's tallest reinforced concrete buildings and was the tallest building in the world outside North America at the time of its completion. The MLC Centre was Sydney's tallest office building from 1977 to 1992

Bell Atlantic Tower (also known as the Verizon Tower) is a 53 story high-rise located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Height to structural top is 739 ft (225 m) with construction being completed in 1991. The building encloses 1.3 million square feet of office space. The building was designed by the Philadelphia-based architecture firm Kling Lindquist.

A city ordinance declared that no building within 250 feet of the nearby Benjamin Franklin Parkway can rise higher than 250 feet. As such, the Bell Atlantic Tower stands at the southernmost edge of its plot, farther away from the parkway, to take full advatage of its height. A landscaped plaza, constructed from the same red granite as the building itself, occupies the rest of the land, fulfilling a city requirement that 1% of the total budget for new building construction must go towards a work of public art.
