Taipei 101's roof was completed on July 1, 2003. In a ceremony presided over by Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, the pinnacle was fitted on October 17, 2003, allowing it to surpass the Petronas Towers by 57 meters (188 feet). Its records may be surpassed by several buildings planned for completion before 2009, including International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong, Fordham Spire in Chicago, Shanghai World Financial Center, Freedom Tower in New York City, and Burj Dubai, the future tallest building, in the U.A.E..
