There is something on Emporis that tells how they make the determination as to whether to list twin towers on the same base as one or two towers. I will see if I can find it.

Single vs. Multiple Building

In most cases there is no trouble deciding what constitutes a separate building. Only when they are linked in unusual ways is there a logical difficulty. The following rules have been adopted by the EDC to set a uniform standard:

1. Any two towers which are separated for at least 2/3 of each tower's height are considered separate buildings UNLESS the connection(s) form an unmistakable architectural unity, such as an arch-shaped building (examples: Genex Tower, Dusit Dubai, Umeda Sky Building). Skybridges are generally not sufficient to unify two separate towers.

2. Any structures which adjoin each other for more than 1/3 of any of their heights should be considered 1 building UNLESS:
* they were built as separate structures and neither one can be considered an addition to the other; this means that the interiors are not integrated at any level, including the ground floor or basement; or
* the structures are separated at ground level and connected for most of their heights but are normally considered separate buildings; or
* an addition to a building forms a significant architectural disjunction.

3. An addition on top of an existing building is never counted as a separate building from the one underneath unless it overhangs the lower building from another base.
