It's surrounded by streets named Park Avenue, Lexington Avenue, 51st Street, and 52nd Street. It's like the building is the king of its own little neighborhood!

How Old is This Tower?

This building isn't brand new, but it's not ancient either! It was finished way back in 1969. That's older than your parents, maybe even your grandparents! It has 44 floors, which is like stacking 44 classrooms on top of each other. If you wanted to walk up all those stairs, it would be a super long climb!

A Building with Its Own Secret Code!

Here's a super cool fact: this building has its very own ZIP code! That's like having your own special mailbox number just for this one building. In 2019, there were only 41 buildings in all of Manhattan that got to have their own special ZIP code. It's like being part of an exclusive club for buildings!

What's it Like Inside?

This building is super, super tall! It's 634 feet high. That's taller than 60 school buses stacked on top of each other! Imagine looking out from the very top โ€“ you could see so much of the city. It's a place where lots of people work and visit every day.
