    Empire State Building - 350 Fifth Avenue @ 34th Street - by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon

    Once was the world's tallest office building for over 40 years, until the original World Trade Center was built & completed! All other skyscrapers have yet to make that claim! When on September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed by hijacked planes (both from Boston while...

    New York | Three World Trade Center | 328.86m | 80s | Silverstein | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Here's part of the next planned office tower - 3 WTC, which has been built up to an 8-story temporary stump. Note the part near the the top in black. Looks very reminiscent of the former low-rise buildings of the original WTC! In the bottom 3 pics, concrete core & steel frame begin to rise. ;)

    World's Tallest Buildings 2020

    New York & Chicago, for years, as always been running neck & neck. The Willis Tower had trounced over the Twins, then Kuala Lumpur had trounced over the Willis Tower with the Petronas Twin Towers. It'll be interesting to see if Chicago can get back in the thick of it again! ;)

    Philadelphia | Comcast Innovation and Technology Center | 341.66m | 59s | Comcast | Foster + Partners

    The John Hancock Tower in Boston had one. But after 09-11, it, also, got closed! There WAS talk last year, that it might reopen, but so far, we've heard nothing else on it. Guess the deal fell through and nothing else had materialized. I'm so glad that I DID get the chance to go up there and...

    This is not spam. The admins & mods are ok with it, and that is all that matters. This is a thread in the forum that is meant for those like me, to post and comment, and who are avid fans fond of tall hise-rise skyscrapers, indeed. You might think of it as crap, but I'm sure that others...

    In most cities, I've seen that at the extreme end of the platform where the first car stops. That makes the wall look very tacky!! :mad:

    New York | World Trade Center Transportation Hub | ?m | ?s | P.A. of N.Y and N.J. | Santiago Calatrava

    Here's a peek at one of the new PATH Station platforms. Note the very unusual & strange support holders for the third rail. They look very unusual! Never seen that type before. Also, note the artwork on the wall. You'd think that since this is a very newly rebuilt station, that they'd put in...
