Top 9 Skyscrapers Under Construction

From: http://www.businessinsider.com/tallest-skyscrapers-under-construction-2013-4

9. Busan Lotte Town Tower - 1675 ft
8. Pentominium, Dubai - 1693 ft
7. Dalian Greenland Center - 1699 ft
6. CTF Tianjin Tower - 1739 ft
5. One Trade Center NYC - 1776 ft
4. Goldin Finance 117 - 1959 ft
3. Shanghai Tower - 2074 ft
2. Ping An IFC, Shenzhen - 2126 ft
1.  India Tower, Mumbai - 2362 ft.

Ok, first you need to remove India Tower and Pentominium because they will never be built.

And then you missed a few:
Wuhan Greenland Center - 2087 ft
Lotte World Tower, Seoul - 555m (1821 ft).
CTF Guangzhou - 530m (1739 ft)
Zhongguo (China) Zun Beijing - 528m (1732 ft)
KFL Centre Shenzhen - 518m (1699 ft) (cancelled)

I hate these reverse lists.  So the real list is as follows:

1. Ping An IFC, Shenzhen - 2126 ft
2. Wuhan Greenland Center - 2087 ft
3. Shanghai Tower - 2074 ft
4. Goldin Finance 117, Tianjin - 1959 ft
5. Lotte World Tower, Seoul - 555m (1821 ft).
6. One Trade Center NYC - 1776 ft
7. CTF Tianjin Tower - 1739 ft
8. CTF Guangzhou - 530m (1739 ft)
9. Zhongguo (China) Zun Beijing - 528m (1732 ft)
10. Dalian Greenland Center - 1699 ft
11. KFL Centre Shenzhen - 518m (1699 ft)
12. Busan Lotte Town Tower - 1675 ft

They are all in China or South Korea except for 1 WTC.

The One Trade Center will be the 3rd tallest building on Earth upon completion, then will probably be the 7th tallest in 2016, and the 10th in 2020.
