New York City
Home to one of the most iconic skylines in the world,
New York City sits at the point where the Hudson River
meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The city consists of five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens,
Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island—and can trace
its roots back to 1624, when Dutch colonists founded
a trading post called New Amsterdam. Renamed New
York in 1664, it has been the United States’ largest city
since 1790. Today almost 8.5 million people live in an
area of just 305 sq. miles (790 km2), which also makes it
the most densely populated city in the country.
The city’s architecture mixes traditional structures with
modern designs, but the skyline is most famous for its
skyscrapers. With more than 550 structures over 330 ft.
(100 m) high, only Hong Kong has a greater number of
tall buildings.
With three of the world’s ten most visited attractions—
Times Square, Central Park and Grand Central Station—
the city is a popular tourist destination with 56 million
visitors in 2014. It is often claimed that New York City is
the most photographed city in the world.
[ “New York is the
only real city-city.” ]

Standing on Liberty Island at the entrance to New York
Harbor, the Statue of Liberty was a welcoming signal
to millions of immigrants and a symbol of freedom and
democracy in the United States.
Designed by the French sculptor Fdéric Auguste
Bartholdi and given as a gift to the United States from the
people of France, the robed female figure represents the
Roman goddess Libertas. In one hand she raises a torch,
in the other she holds a tablet inscribed with the date of
the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
The 151 ft. (46 m) tall copper statue was constructed in
France and shipped in pieces to the completed pedestal
on what was then called Bedloe’s Island. The dedication
ceremony in October 1886 was presided over by
President Grover Cleveland and marked by New York’s
first ever ticker-tape parade.

Flatiron Building
Although never the tallest building in New York, or even
the first building in the United States with a triangular
ground plan, the Flatiron Building remains one of New
York’s most memorable structures.
Sitting on the intersection where Fifth Avenue and
Broadway cross, the Flatiron’s famous form was
dictated by the shape of the plot of leftover land that
lay undeveloped as the city raced northward during
the second half of the 19th century. In 1901 the architect
Daniel H. Burnham was hired to design a new showcase
headquarters on the site for Chicago-based contractors
The Fuller Company.
Burnham’s radical design created a great deal of debate
as the massive structure neared completion in 1902.
Many New Yorkers believed that the unstable building
would fall over at the first gust of wind. The Flatiron
withstood both the criticism and the strong winds and,
over a century later, stands tall as a groundbreaking
engineering marvel.
Valued today at $190 million, the Flatiron Building
continues to function as a popular retail and office
space. In 2009, Sorgente Group of America acquired the
majority of the Flatiron Building.

Located in Midtown Manhattan on Fifth Avenue between
West 33rd and West 34th streets, the 1,454 ft. (443 m)
tall skyscraper was the world’s tallest building when it
was completed in April 1931. It remained so for nearly
40 years and is still the fourth tallest skyscraper in the
United States and the 25th tallest in the world.
Named after the nickname for the State of New York, the
Empire State, the distinctive Art Deco-style structure was
designed by Brooklyn-born architect William F. Lamb.
Construction began in early 1930 and was completed
only 410 days later—12 days ahead of schedule. President
Herbert Hoover officially opened the 102-story building
on May 1, 1931 when he turned on the building’s lights
directly from Washington.
Over 4 million tourists visit the building’s 86th floor
observation deck every year to experience a unique
panoramic view of New York City. Widely regarded as
an American cultural icon, the Empire State Building was
hailed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World
by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1994.
