New York’s second tallest skyscraper is getting its own television show, at least for one evening. On Thursday, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, National Geographic Television will air a one-hour documentary about The Bank of America Tower, a 54-story glass-and-steel high-rise designed by Cook + Fox that is nearing completion in Midtown Manhattan.
At about 1,200 feet (the building is 945 feet tall; its spire adds another 255 feet), the tower stands just shy of the Empire State Building, which rises 1,450 feet, including its antenna. The Chrysler Building, in the number-three spot, is 1,046 feet tall, according to New York’s Skyscraper Museum.
