呢個工程嘅相關部門指出，位於臺北市已經起好嘅臺北101大樓（總高度509.2米，屋頂高度449.2米）嘅高度包括60米尖塔在內，就實體高度（大廈屋頂）嚟講，環球金融中心屬於世界第一，但以美國權威建築機構CTBUH所訂定嘅高度計算嚟講，又仲係低於臺北101，加埋復工後工程速度已冇阿聯杜拜的哈利法塔（總高度828米，屋頂高度636米）咁快，直至被超越，嗰時先計劃定位係中國大陸第一高樓同世界第三高樓。
The relevant departments of this project pointed out that the height of the Taipei 101 building (total height of 509.2 meters, roof height of 449.2 meters) that has been built in Taipei City, including the 60-meter minaret, in terms of physical height (building roof), the World Financial Center belongs to the world's first, but in terms of the height set by the authoritative architectural agency CTBUH in United States, it is still lower than Taipei 101, and the speed of the project after the resumption of work is not as fast as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (total height 828 meters, roof height 636 meters), until it is surpassed, and then it is planned to be positioned as the tallest building in Chinese mainland and the third tallest building in the world.
