In January of each year CTBUH (The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) publishes a review of tall building construction and statistics from the previous year. The annual story is becoming a familiar one: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and now 2011 have each sequentially broke the record for the most 200 meter or higher buildings completed in a given year. Once again, more 200 m+ buildings were completed in 2011 than in any year previous, with a total of 88 projects opening their doors. It is now foreseeable - indeed likely - that the recent trend of an annual increase in building completions will continue for the next several years, perhaps even through the end of the decade, due in large part to China.
