Buildings of Distinction

Established to honor distinguished tall building projects and the hard work of project stakeholders, the Buildings of Distinction program recognizes major achievements in the industry through a tangible on-site display, signboard ceremony, and significant press/media campaign.

Buildings of Distinction titles are bestowed to reflect a building's distinguishing features, such as height records, a distinguishing space or characteristic, or awards won through the CTBUH Awards Program.
