The foundations of high-rise buildings must sometimes support very heavy gravity loads, and they usually consist of concrete piers, piles, or caissons that are sunk into the ground. So to avoid sinking, their foundations are made wide and strong, to decrease the pressure on the ground.
The most important factor when in the design of high-rise buildings with wide and strong foundation, because the building's need to withstand the lateral forces imposed by winds and potential earthquakes.

What would be the height of highest building ever possible?
The only thing that will be able to determine the height of the highest building ever built will be how strong we can make a foundation for it, if it is too tall the steel supports of the building will collapse or the foundation (made of concrete) will rupture or crack, making the building fall. So it really all about how strong mankind can make the foundation. Apart from strong foundations there are more challenges a high rise faces e.g. The swaying of the building due to wind pressure. We will have to face the Jet Streams. Temperature changes. Ability to lift the raw materials to such a height (in case its a RCC structure, one would need enormous pump sets to supply the RCC at that height. Check the Burj Dubai structure for this.).
