Why do the Arabs and Dubai and China have towers that are more lengthy than ours? I hope that the lengths of a tower in the world will be in Miami 200 floors, the same Arabs
Empire State Building isn't the oldest skyscraper in NYC. It was built 11 months after the Chrysler Building. In fact, I think the Flatiron Building holds the title for oldest skyscraper in the city.
The oldest still standing is the Temple Court Building early 1880's, and the oldest skyscraper in NYC but is not still standing is the Equitable Life Building, 1870. These were way before Chrysler and even older than the Flatiron.
@@King_Steffon_II At 2:31. Where do you even hear the word "list"??? He clearly says "the oldest building in NY." Looks like you need to "learn to listen", or is it just your English is so poor? boo boo----really?!? what are you, some kind of queenie sausage bandit. I thought your type only watched vids on fashion, decorating and hairstyling.
Me, working in Rockefeller Center and being shook at being 40 floors above the city seeing that people are living on 80th floor Penthouses in a building that sways like a ship on a windy day: 😰😰
Great Videos! For next videos, mind I suggest to convert any data you're mentioning also into meters? Maybe just put those informations in the corner of your videos. As a german viewer, it would help a lot to just understand how big these buildings actually are :)
Wasn’t the Chrysler Building finished before the ESB? He said that the ESB was the oldest skyscraper in NYC. Which I’m not sure either of them are really the oldest depending what your definition of it is
@@JoaoPessoa86 And downtown, in fact there are several skyscrapers in downtown Manhattan that were the world's tallest for a few years in the 20's, pretty sure they still qualify as 'skyscrapers"
@@philipgior3312 wasn't there a whole race to be tallest that the Chrysler building ultimately won until the Empire State Building blew it out of the water?
@@JoaoPessoa86 Yeah there was. The developers of the Chrysler held the spire out of view until another bldg they were competing with was completed. They then brought out the spire and held the title till the Empire State surpassed it
Great video, keep it up. I’ve seen tons of these videos but got some new facts out of this one I haven’t seen before. Was surprised to see only 2k subs, expected at least 100k!
This video deserves way more likes and views. You just earned a subscriber. Just a minor request, i am from Pakistan and our government really doesn't give much info about the CPEC investment being done by china in Pakistan. Can you please make a video on that? Would love it, just a humble request. Great content, keep it up.
Chrysler Bldg was world's tallest before the Empire State, and several bldgs downtown before that were the world's tallest for a period of time. I'm pretty sure they still qualify as 'skyscrapers'.
The oldest still standing is the Temple Court Building early 1880's, and the oldest skyscraper in NYC but is not still standing is the Equitable Life Building, 1870. These were way before Chrysler and even older than the Flatiron.
My fav on the list has to be one world trade center its modern and simple desing its just amazing but honestly its kind of sad to see this new billonares row building surpase it by rooff height
Great video, but The Empire State Building is no where near "the oldest skyscraper in New York". There are too many older skyscrapers to mention, but The Chrysler Building, The Woolworth Building, The Flat Iron Building, 40 Wall Street, and The Metropolitan Life Insurance Building are just a few examples of spectacular skyscrapers older than the Empire State Building and are all still standing...
1 World Trade Center's correct figures: Architectural height - 1782 ft., Height to tip of lightning rod - 1798 ft. These heights are taken from the north entrance on Vesey St. The building has 94 floors.
I have a panoramic view of Manhattan from my home in NJ. I don't care for Hudson Yards. It blocked my view of the Chrysler Building. It's a dense cluster of unattractive architecture. The building design should have been more cohesive and unified. I also don't care for One World Trade. The landscape design is very good but the building itself is not a esthetically pleasing. The Empire State Building and the two new super tall residential buildings on west 57th are great looking buildings. I actually get a little vertigo stand on the sidewalk looking up at the two nee buildings on W 57th Street.
I was just looking up that $250 million penthouse. How did you read my mind? Edit : tiny correction on the Central Park tower, Iam pretty sure its way taller than the 98 floors you mentioned. The triplex penthouse goes from the 129 through 131 floors. And there are some floors above that for maintenance acess
There've been different numbers I saw researching. Some say it's 95, 98, 131 and 137 and some say there are floor #'s that are skipped. They also don't mention if they're counting residential floors or all floors including the Nordstrom building at the bottom of the tower
@@urbaninternational ah, that makes sense. Your sources probably dont count the maintenance floors either. In the official listing by the Serhant Group x Extell, it mentions the penthouse being the 129 through 131. The website by extell even has published the plans of the house, with each floor number and square footage, very impressive property in the sky
@@alienamzal477 Ah that explains it. Maintenance floors... I feel like every news article I could find had different numbers. But none of them specified maintenance vs. residential floors
Roof height of OWT is 1,368. NYC lobbied to have the spire count in total footage, but virtually no real architectural firms (or governments) recognize this as its true height. NYC and Chicago both have towers hundreds of feet taller than OWT. What is with the factual problems on this channel? Other commentors and I have caught several in multiple videos.
Read NYC legal coding of OWT, even NYC government itself doesn't recognize the silly 1700+ foot designation. Legally, the tower is 1.3K feet -- the 1.7K foot definition is for clickbait and tourists.
Who else agrees that CTBUH's classifications of tallest buildings are worthless? Central Park Tower is certainly taller than One WTC. A spire or antennae; who cares? A person can stand on a floor higher than than the roof of One WTC.
Yes, it is certainly misleading to call One WTC the tallest building in NYC. It simply isn't true. The spire is a spire. It is not part of the building.
When you look at it from the true height ( roof ) it's a much different story . They stick a matchstick on top and count it as the building height , what a joke.
Very true, I probably should've also specified how the list would be rearranged to account for roof height b/c most lists that call it the 1st tallest only go off the spire
if these buildings are open to the public, why the hell did you not go get footage from the top? This is just glamor shots of each of these buildings, followed by a drippy voiceover, super glamor. OMG these buildings are really fantastic. Top level, fantastic buildings. REMIND YOU OF ANYONE????

Well you are correct but the narrator said the Empire State building was the oldest on his list of the top 8 skyscrapers in NYC.
@@ramundopepitos 02:31?

@@ramundopepitos The narrator said oldest in NY. And as I noted here also, those other two buildings mentioned above weren't even close to the oldest.

Blessings to the big Apple.🙏.
The real matatan.🤔. Ribirin.
I’ve loved skyscrapers since I was a kid!! This video and the aerial views of the city was amazing ❤
Thanks for watching and for your support of the video!
Central Park tower is iconic and a dream.
Agree completely
Visited NYC for the first time this year. Personally 432 Park, with its simplistic design, captivates me.
Great job adding or getting color imaging on your vintage videos.
Great work.
Thank you
You should review the Brooklyn Tower at 9 DeKalb Avenue. That is a true tower of the future for New York City.
Can definitely work on that
Great Videos! For next videos, mind I suggest to convert any data you're mentioning also into meters? Maybe just put those informations in the corner of your videos. As a german viewer, it would help a lot to just understand how big these buildings actually are :)
Yessir a few people have asked so I'll try to have feet and meters in measurements for any construction
What a great video! Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
That Empire State Building or how its called is beautiful. Never seen this skyscraper before. 🤩
Beautiful indeed
I'm surprised. It is the most famous skyscraper in this country, probably in the world.
congrats on 2k ! . keep it up, love the videos
Thank you!
Great video ❤
Thank you

@@urbaninternational thanks
How is your channel so small? I love your videos.
Well thank you!!
I love this video. Thank you.
thank you for watching!!
The Empire State Building is definitely not the oldest skyscraper in New York.
Chrysler Bldg was world's tallest before the Empire State, and several bldgs downtown before that were the world's tallest for a period of time. I'm pretty sure they still qualify as 'skyscrapers'.
Woolworth building was the tallest in the world for almost 14 years
The oldest still standing is the Temple Court Building early 1880's, and the oldest skyscraper in NYC but is not still standing is the Equitable Life Building, 1870. These were way before Chrysler and even older than the Flatiron.
My fav on the list has to be one world trade center its modern and simple desing its just amazing but honestly its kind of sad to see this new billonares row building surpase it by rooff height
432 park ave is 1,398 ft high ok and 30 Hudson yards is 1,296 ft high ok

I LOVE 432.
AYO do you live there??
@@urbaninternationalI wish.
Please add metirc measure in future videos. Im a subscriber from germany. Thank you.
Videos coming out of EU only use metric so we have to translate into ft. so we just returned the favor.
How's the '80 building interiors?
The foundation of 432 Park Avenue...it can be renovated by strong cements....start from the first floor or basement...
Uh?
Which tower is your favorite? Or least Favorite. And why?
30 Hudson yards. Just a neighborhood for wealthy and tourist traps.
Favorite is the World Trade Center.
I have a panoramic view of Manhattan from my home in NJ. I don't care for Hudson Yards. It blocked my view of the Chrysler Building. It's a dense cluster of unattractive architecture.

Central park tower
Because it's taller than WTC highest floor
One Vanderbilt is my favorite.
so 30 hudson yard building building was inspired by iron man 3 movie lol😬
I was just looking up that $250 million penthouse. How did you read my mind?

Central Park Tower is the tallest building in New York . Fact.
True by roof height
Roof height of OWT is 1,368. NYC lobbied to have the spire count in total footage, but virtually no real architectural firms (or governments) recognize this as its true height. NYC and Chicago both have towers hundreds of feet taller than OWT. What is with the factual problems on this channel? Other commentors and I have caught several in multiple videos.

Will be very nice when use metrics to use feet and meters.. because a lot people use meters..
For the love of dear God please use Meters 😭. Don’t just use ft, I literally have to go search up how much that is in meters smh
Who else agrees that CTBUH's classifications of tallest buildings are worthless? Central Park Tower is certainly taller than One WTC. A spire or antennae; who cares? A person can stand on a floor higher than than the roof of One WTC.
That's valid. They classify buildings in weird ways, so yes by roof height of the tallest floor, it would be taller
Yes, it is certainly misleading to call One WTC the tallest building in NYC. It simply isn't true. The spire is a spire. It is not part of the building.
Check out new JP Morgan headquarter under construction , it will be among the tallest in NYC . And it's not skinny
Yesss it's going to be impressive
they need to build tower 2 for WTC and make it the exact same but remove the trash spire and raise it to 2001 feet in honor of the victims
Not a bad suggestion
5 WTC will be residential, and it will start construction in 2023.
That is actually awesome to look forward to when it's complete
Camila. Breat. Redo. Dolicaon
Otac.fatom.
432 park was built non union. save money get crap!!
Two Is the tallest.
Great video! One tiny request for your future videos: use metric. The vast majority of the world's people uses metric. Thank you.
Or atleast add the conversion to metric on screen
When you look at it from the true height ( roof ) it's a much different story . They stick a matchstick on top and count it as the building height , what a joke.

Absolutely zero clue who this is supposed to remind u of. I'm just a dude making videos in his moms basement
nah there for sure is smth wrong with you pal
Nr 1 is not the tallest !
It has just a spier that is nearly 1/3 of the building hight pathetic 🤦👎
That is true
Ma Central Park Tower è la più alta del mondo!!
