The Empire State Building continues to be one of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers and a staple of the New York skyline. At 1,454 feet tall, this art-deco skyscraper held the record of being the world’s tallest building for almost 40 years until the completion of One World Trade Center. A symbol of NYC and its pride, the Empire State Building, has been featured in more than 250 TV shows and major motion pictures including King Kong and Sleepless in Seattle.
