A supertall building refers to height of 300 to 599m. A form of skyscraper, it falls midway between a common minimum definition of "skyscraper" height of 150m and a "megatall" building reaches 600m.[1]
Different organizations from the United States and Europe define skyscrapers generally as buildings at least 150 metres in height or taller.[2][3][4][5]

"Skyscraper: A tall, multi-storey building. Skyscrapers are different from towers or masts because they are habitable. The term was first applied during the late-nineteenth century, as the public marvelled at the elevated, steel-frame buildings being erected in Chicago and New York, USA. Modern skyscrapers tend to be constructed from reinforced concrete. As a general rule, a building must be at least 150 metres high to qualify as a skyscraper."
