Bank of America Tower

Bank of America Tower is the second tallest building in New York City and the 4th tallest in the United States. It is located on Sixth Avenue, between 42nd and 43rd Streets, across from Bryant Park.

Construction of the Bank of America Tower began in 2004, and the building was completed in 2009 at a cost of US$1 billion. It was designed by Cook+Fox Architects. The building is 1,200 ft (366 m) tall and has 54 floors, a very low number for a building of such a height. However this is due to its spire, without which the building is only 953.5 ft (290.6 m) to the roof.

The Bank of America Tower is said to one of the most efficient and ecologically friendly buildings in the world. It has floor-to-ceiling insulating glass that holds heat within and maximizes natural light. There is an automatic daylight dimming system that controls the amount of light.

Getting there

Take the 7, 7X, N, Q, R or S train to the Times Square-42nd Street Subway Stations, or the B, D, F or M train to the 42nd Street-Bryant Park Subway Station and walk a short distance to reach the tower.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
