    The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the

    intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It is 381 meters (1,250 ft) tall. Its name is derived
    from the nickname for New York, The Empire State. It stood as the world's tallest building for more
    than 40 years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North
    Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the
    Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York City.

    The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of
    the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its street floor interior are designated
    landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and confirmed by the New
    York City Board of Estimate.[4] It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.[3][5][6] In
    2007, it was ranked number one on the List of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.
    The building is owned and managed by W&H Properties.[7] The Empire State Building is currently the
    third tallest skyscraper in the United States (after the Willis Tower and Trump International Hotel and
    Tower, both in Chicago), and the 15th tallest in the world. It is also the fourth tallest freestanding
    structure in the Americas. The Empire State Building is currently undergoing a $550 million
    renovation, with $120 million utilized in an effort to transform the building into a more energy
    efficient and eco-friendly structure.[8]
