List of tallest buildings in New York City facts for kids


New York City, the most populous city in the United States, is home to over 6,950 completed high-rise buildings of at least 115 feet (35 m), of which at least 132 are taller than 600 feet (183 m). The tallest building in New York is One World Trade Center, which rises 1,776 feet (541 m). The 104-story skyscraper also stands as the tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the sixth-tallest building in the world. The second-tallest building in the city is 432 Park Avenue, standing at 1,396 feet (426 m), and the third-tallest is 30 Hudson Yards. Not counting its antenna, the 4th-tallest is the 102-story Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, which was finished in 1931 and rises to 1,250 feet (381 m), increased to 1,454 feet (443 m) by its antenna. It is the sixth-tallest building in the United States and the 35th-tallest building in the world. The fifth-tallest building in New York is the Bank of America Tower, which rises to 1,200 feet (366 m), including its spire.
The Empire State Building stood as the tallest building in the world from its completion until 1970, when construction on the 110-story North Tower of the original World Trade Center surpassed it. At 1,368 feet (417 m), The World Trade Center held the title until it was in turn surpassed by the construction of the 108-story Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago in 1973. It remained the tallest building in New York City until 2001. The North Tower, as well as the other six buildings in the World Trade Center complex, were destroyed by terrorist attacks in 2001, and the Empire State Building regained the title of tallest building in the city. It remained the tallest until April 2012, when the construction on One World Trade Center surpassed it. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, they would be the second- and third-tallest buildings in the city, with their replacement—One World Trade Center—being excluded. Only 432 Park Avenue is taller.
One World Trade Center began construction in 2006 as the lead building of the new World Trade Center complex; upon its topping out in May 2013, the 1,776-foot (541 m) skyscraper surpassed the Willis Tower to become the tallest building in the United States. One World Trade Center is part of the redevelopment of the World Trade Center, which also includes the 1,079-foot (329 m) 3 World Trade Center, the 977-foot (298 m) 4 World Trade Center, the 743-foot (226 m) 7 World Trade Center and one partly-constructed on-hold building: the 1,323-foot (403 m) 2 World Trade Center.
New York City skyscrapers are concentrated in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, although other neighborhoods of Manhattan and the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx also contain some high-rises. As of June 2019[update], the entire city had 309 buildings that rise at least 500 feet (152 m) in height, including those under construction, more than any other city in the United States.
The history of skyscrapers in New York City began with the completion of the World Building in 1890; the structure rose to a pinnacle of 349 feet (106 m). Though not the city's first high-rise, it was the first building to surpass the 284-foot (87 m) spire of Trinity Church. The World Building, which stood as the tallest in the city until 1899, was demolished in 1955 to allow for the construction of an expanded entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge.
New York has played a prominent role in the development of the skyscraper; since 1890, eleven structures in the city have held the title of world's tallest. New York City went through a very early high-rise construction boom that lasted from the early 1910s through the early 1930s, during which 14 of the city's 100 tallest buildings were built—including the Woolworth Building, the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, each of which was the tallest in the world at the time of its completion, the last remaining so for forty years.
Skyscraper construction resumed in the early 1960s. Since then, the city has seen the completion of nearly 110 structures rising at least 600 feet (183 m) high, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and the current World Trade Center redevelopment. As of 2019, 24 more were under construction.
