High risin’ in the Big Apple: NYC’s famous skyscrapers

When one thinks of skyscrapers, no other city’s skyline comes to mind as vividly as New York City’s. Yes, the Big Apple has one of the most, if not the most recognizable skylines in the world due to its skyscrapers.

Here are a few of the most iconic ones. Scott Jay Abraham.

Comcast Building: 30 Rock, as this building is also known, is one of the most famous NYC buildings in architecture and design circles. It has a timeless quality both in its exterior and interior designs, which only gets better as the 80-year-old structure gets older.

Chrysler Building: Once the tallest building in all of New York, the Chrysler Building still stands as a beacon of architecture, engineering, and construction. Famous for largely being made of brick, this building exudes elegance, which reflects the Big Apple. Scott Jay Abraham.

Empire State Building: As far as NYC skyscrapers are concerned, it doesn’t get any more iconic than the Empire State Building. Being the tallest building in the world for over 40 years is just one of its many achievements. Ask millions of people from all over the world what they know about New York City, and most of them will mention the Empire State. Scott Jay Abraham.

One World Trade Center: One WTC stands at 1,776 feet. It towers over most buildings in Manhattan. A replacement of the original WTC, this glass tower is nothing short of an architectural and engineering feat. Plus, it operates on renewable energy. Scott Jay Abraham.
