SKYDB Awards

Honoring the best new skyscrapers each year

Every year SKYDB selects the most significant tall buildings completed that year. Winners are picked by community members for the best functionality and design. When the inaugural award was selected in 1999, no architectural prize existed specifically for tall buildings.

Many editors.
One team.

All data on SKYDB is curated through expert-led standards and quality controls. Our editors verify height claims, photograph construction progress, cross-check sources, and resolve disputes between conflicting data points. The result: a database where every data point can be traced back to a verified source.
