Interesting facts about the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is a skyscraper in the New York borough of Manhattan. With a structural height of 381 meters - up to the antenna tip around 443 meters - the building, which was erected in an unusually short construction period between 1930 and 1931, was not only the tallest building in New York, but also the tallest building in the world until 1972. From the destruction of the World Trade Center in the attacks of September 11, 2001 until the topping-out ceremony for the successor building, One World Trade Center, in 2013, it was again the tallest structure in the city. To this day, the Empire State Building is considered the “quintessential skyscraper”. This validity is mainly due to its great resonance in the media, especially due to its diverse portrayal in films.
