The term "supertall" is thrown around a lot when describing new towers on the rise in New York City, and since it sounds like a fun made-up word, many people may not know that it's an actual term defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. "Supertall" buildings are categorized as structures between 984 feet and 1,968 feet tall. Anything higher is considered "megatall"will the day come when NYC sees a megatall? [City Lab]
