Location of all skyscrapers in New York City taller than 650 feet (198 m)List of tallest buildings in New York City (New York City)
At 1,250 feet (381 m), the 102-story[B] Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, which was finished in 1931, stood as the tallest building in the world from its completion until 1970, when construction on the 1,368-foot (417 m) North Tower of the original World Trade Center surpassed it.[9] It is the ninth-tallest building in the United States, and rises to a pinnacle of 1,454 feet (443 m)[C] including its antenna.[11] The North Tower (the original One World Trade Center), along with its twin the South Tower (the first Two World Trade Center), which was six feet shorter, held this title only briefly as they were both surpassed by construction of the 110-story[D] Willis Tower in Chicago in 1973. The Twin Towers remained the tallest buildings in New York City until they were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks, leaving the Empire State Building again as the city's tallest building.[12][13]
The new One World Trade Center began construction in 2006; in April 2012 it surpassed the Empire State Building to become the city's tallest. Upon its topping out in May 2013, the 1,776-foot (541 m) One World Trade Center surpassed the Willis Tower to become the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere.[3][14] 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,[15] the 977-foot (298 m) 4 World Trade Center,[16] the 743-foot (226 m) 7 World Trade Center,[17] the approved 900-foot (274 m) 5 World Trade Center,[18] and one partly constructed on-hold building: the 1,350-foot (411 m) 2 World Trade Center.[19]
The majority of skyscrapers in New York City 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 March 2024[update], there were 317 completed skyscrapers that rose at least 492 feet (150 m) in height, more than any other city in the Western Hemisphere, and third most in the world exceeded only by Hong Kong and Shenzhen.[20][E]
History edit
The history of skyscrapers in New York City began with the construction of the Equitable Life, Western Union, and Tribune buildings in the early 1870s. These relatively short early skyscrapers, sometimes referred to as "preskyscrapers" or "protoskyscrapers", included features such as a steel frame and elevators—then-new innovations that were used in the city's later skyscrapers.[23]: 62 Modern skyscraper construction began with the completion of the World Building in 1890; the structure rose to a pinnacle of 349 feet (106 m).[24] Though not the city's first high-rise, it was the first building to surpass the 284-foot (87 m) spire of Trinity Church.[25] The World Building, which stood as the tallest in the city until 1899,[F] was demolished in 1955 to allow for the construction of an expanded entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge.[26] The Park Row Building, at 391 feet (119 m), was the city's tallest building from 1899 to 1908,[27] and the world's tallest office building during the same time span.[28] By 1900, fifteen skyscrapers in New York City exceeded 250 feet (76 m) in height.[23]: 280
New York has played a prominent role in the development of the skyscraper. Since 1890, ten of those built in the city have held the title of world's tallest.[29][G] New York City went through two very early high-rise construction booms, the first of which spanned the 1890s through the 1910s, and the second from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s.[30] During this period 44 skyscrapers over 492 feet (150 m) were built[31]—including the Singer Building, Met Life Tower, Woolworth Building, 40 Wall Street, 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.[29]
Skyscraper construction resumed in the early 1960s, with construction surges in the early 1970s, late 1980s, and late 2010s.[30] In total, the city has seen the rise of over 100 completed and topped-out structures at least 650 feet (198 m) high, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and the current World Trade Center redevelopment.[32]

Notes edit
- ^ a b c d The building is 104 standard floors tall and most references supply this figure. However, only 94 actual, physically usable, stories are present; see the skyscraper's main article for more details.
- ^ a b c d References typically use the 102 floors figure, however some state a value of 103 floors instead due to the presence of an encircling balcony above the 102nd floor. See Empire State Building#Opening and early years and Empire State Building#Above the 102nd floor for a detailed explanation.
- ^ a b Prior to 1985, the pinnacle height was 1,472 feet (449 m). This was reduced to the current value when the original antenna was replaced by a shorter one.[10]
- ^ Historically most references gave a 108 floor figure. However, following a change in ownership, the building's official datasheet was revised to provide 110 floors as the total, counting the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse as 110; recent references now tend to follow this practice.
- ^ The comparison uses the current standard criteria as a continuously habitable high-rise building that has over 40 floors, and is taller than approximately 492 feet (150 m).[21][22] See also Skyscraper for more details on how the definition has evolved over time.
- ^ As measured to its tip (or pinnacle). Five other skyscrapers in Manhattan had already surpassed its 309-foot (94 m) architectural height by then, starting with the Manhattan Life Insurance Building in 1894. For more on the different criteria used see List of tallest buildings and structures#Tallest buildings
- ^ This considers only skyscrapers by architectural height. It was not until the completion of the Singer Building in 1908 that a skyscraper surpassed the spire of the tallest building constructed using conventional methods. Only the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings held the title of world's tallest overall structure, the latter of which maintained this title for more than two decades until surpassed by Oklahoma's Griffin Television Tower in 1954.
- ^ Floor counts often vary among sources, this list uses the number most widely reported in reference. Read the FAQ on the talk page for details.
- ^ The highest floor is numbered 93.
- ^ The floor count of the World Building has been disputed. Upon construction, the building was said to contain up to 26 floors, but in recent years the building has been said to contain as few as 16 floors.[348]
- ^ This building was constructed as the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, but is now more commonly known as 40 Wall Street and officially known as the Trump Building.

skyscraper s main article for more details a b c d References typically use the 102 floors figure however some state a value of 103 floors instead due to the presence of an encircling balcony above the 102nd floor See Empire State Building Opening and early years and Empire State Building Above the 102nd floor for a detailed explanation a b Prior to 1985 the pinnacle height was 1 472 feet 449 m This was reduced to the current value when the original antenna was replaced by a shorter one 10 Historically most references gave a 108 floor figure However following a change in ownership the building s official datasheet was revised to provide 110 floors as the total counting the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse as 110 recent references now tend to follow this practice The comparison uses the current standard criteria as a continuously habitable high rise building that has over 40 floors and is taller than approximately 492 feet 150 m 21 22 See also Skyscraper for more details on how the definition has evolved over time As measured to its tip or pinnacle Five other skyscrapers in Manhattan had already surpassed its 309 foot 94 m architectural height by then starting with the Manhattan Life Insurance Building in 1894 For more on the different criteria used see List of tallest buildings and structures Tallest buildings This considers only skyscrapers by architectural height It was not until the completion of the Singer Building in 1908 that a skyscraper surpassed the spire of the tallest building constructed using conventional methods Only the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings held the title of world s tallest overall structure the latter of which maintained this title for more than two decades until surpassed by Oklahoma s Griffin Television Tower in 1954 Floor counts often vary among sources this list uses the number most widely reported in reference Read the FAQ on the talk page for details The highest floor is numbered 93 The floor count of the World Building has been disputed Upon construction the building was said to contain up to 26 floors but in recent years the building has been said to contain as few as 16 floors
