Description
New York is the world's ultimate skyscraper city. Already at the end of the 19th century, the limited space on Manhattan caused developers to build ever taller towers. During the course of the 20th century, no less than 8 different skyscrapers in New York held the title of the world's tallest building. Such a long domination resulted in large number of truly historical buildings, with a great variety in architectural styles.
Below you find a small selection of the city's most interesting skyscrapers; for a more exhaustive list, have a look at the New York City Buildings page.
