This iconic 46-story high-rise by Lord Norman Foster is the first NYC LEED Gold skyscraper in New York City—80 % of its structural steel contains recycled materials, the rain collected on the roof is used for the cooling system, and the building uses 26 % less energy than the standard requirement. The original stone façade of this art deco design building is a designated landmark that was integrated into its new design, which received the Emporis Skyscraper Award after its completion in 2006.
