What will the next 4 buildings over 400m be? It's hard to say since there are dozens under construction, but I think these will be the next ones completed.
2014 - Shanghai Tower, 632m. This will be the 2nd tallest building in the world upon completion.
2015 - Lotte World Tower, Seoul. 556m. This should be the 4th tallest upon completion.
2015 - World One, Mumbai. 442m. This will be the tallest residential building in the world.
2015 - Wuhan Center, Wuhan, China. 438m.
Honorable Mention:
2014 - Marina 101, Dubai, 432m. This has been under construction since 2007, so it may not be completed in the next 2 years. Also their official website is down.
2014 - Federation Tower "Vostok" (East), Moscow, 506m including a very tall spire. Under construction since 2003.

The Winner? I haven't put a lot of thought into this but I think I like the Petronas Towers the best.
Their 16-sided floor plans are very cool.
Update:
432 Park Avenue in NYC will be completed in 2015 with a height of 426m.
Update 2:
CTF Finance Centre in Guangzhou topped out in 2014 at 530m.
