Up until 1998 the tallest building status was essentially uncontested. Counting buildings as structures with floors throughout, New York City's World Trade Center was the tallest including the antennas, Sears Tower in Chicago excluding the antennas. As antennas were usually excluded, Sears Tower was counted as the tallest. When Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was built, some felt that the "spire" extending to 9 meters higher than the roof of the Sears Tower was just added to "cheat" its way into the spot as tallest building. Excluding the spire, the Petronas Towers were not taller than the Sears Tower. Therefore, before the Petronas Towers were completed, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat defined four categories in which the "world's tallest building" can be measured:\n\nHeight to the structural or architectural top (including spires and pinnacles, but not antennas, masts or flagpoles) \nHeight to the highest occupied floor \nHeight to the top of the roof \nHeight to the top of antenna \nThe height is measured from the sidewalk level of the main entrance. In all of these categories, Sears Tower had held the top spot. After Petronas was built, Sears Tower became second in the first category only.\n\nOn April 20, 2004, the Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan was completed. Its completion gave it the record for the first three categories.\n\n The Sears Tower still leads in the fourth category with 527 m (1,729 ft

I found this on the web for you and a link you may find interesting.\n\nActually, the largest single parking structure in the United States (and second largest in the world after the one at Pierson Airport in Toronto, I believe) is at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport with something like 11,500 spaces. \n\nAnd, the tallest in the world was the one at the Carew-Netherland complex in dowtown Cincy. It was demolished in the late 80's. It stood 342' tall and contained 27 floors. Here it is in the Carew-Netherland complex. It's the red building just left of the tallest in this photo:\n\nhttp://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?...ttach=783;image\n\nThere is also an automated one still standing in Chicago, I believe, that is over 20 stories, as well. Most of them are historic. The Carew-Netherdland one was constructed in 1931.\n\nParking Garages at Urbanplanet.org\n\nhttp://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20939

The largest building in North America is also the largest building in the world.  It's owned by Boeing aircraft, and is located in Everett, Washington.  It encloses 472 million cubic feet (13.3 million cubic meters) of space.

Any of them, Mt. Everest is the obvious answer.  What about Mt. Washington in New Hampshie (world's highest wind speeds) or The Andes (amazing views)

It depends on who does the measuring! Skyscraper buffs disagree on whether features like flagpoles, antennas, and spires should be included when measuring building height. \nAlso under dispute is the question of what, exactly, constitutes a building. Technically, observation towers and communications towers are considered structures, not buildings, because they are not habitable. They do not have residential or office space. \n\nSoaring 1,670 feet (509 meters), the Taipei 101 Tower in Taipei, Taiwan appears to be the world's tallest building. But the Taipei 101 Tower's massive 60-foot spire contributes to much of that height. \n\nBefore the Taipei 101 Tower was completed, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were described as the tallest buildings in the world. But, like the Taipei 101 Tower, the Petronas Twin Towers get much of their height from spires, not from usable space. \n\nIf you count only habitable space and measure from the sidewalk level of the main entrance to the structural top of building (excluding flagpoles and spires), then Chicago's Sears Tower, built in 1974, may still be the tallest building in the world. \n\nBut none of these buildings will keep their rankings for long. Even taller buildings are on the drawing board. Freedom Tower at the new World Trade Center in New York City is expected to rise 541 meters (1,776 feet) tall, including its enormous spire. \n\nHowever, if spires, flagpoles, and antennas can be counted when we measure building heights, perhaps rankings of the World's Tallest Buildings should include all man-made structures, whether or not they contain habitable space. In this case, the CN Tower in Canada is the world's tallest building. The communications tower and tourist attraction measures 553.33 meters (1,815 ft., 5 inches) tall. \n\nhttp://architecture.about.com/library/bltall.htm

It is the fourth tallest building in the US (three of which are in Chicago, one in NY). It is the 16th tallest in the world.

The Taipei 101 is the tallest building in the world at 509 metres / AP\n\nWorld's tallest towers\nFrom:  By Sara Clemence\nJanuary 18, 2006 \n \n \nThe Taipei 101 is the tallest building in the world at 509 metres / AP \n  \nFICTIONAL film apes aren't the only creatures drawn to great heights. Human beings have always been looking for ways to escape the ground--by building machines that fly or structures that stretch into the clouds.\n\nBut many of today's tallest are so high that even King Kong would get vertigo. \nWhen it comes to those buildings, what constitutes "tall" varies from place to place and year to year. The loftiest buildings in Europe are waist-high to those in the New World. \n\nIconic American buildings that once held records have been bumped down by new skyscrapers in Asia, which in coming years will be surpassed by new structures, including the Freedom Tower in New York City, Burj Dubai in the U.A.E., and others still on the drawing boards.
