The New York Times Building is a skyscraper in the Times Square area of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Planning for the building began in 2001. It was constructed from 2003 to 2007, with tenants began moving in around mid 2007.

The New York Times Building is cruciform in plan, and built with a steel frame occupying a 80,000 square foot site. It is 748 feet (228 meters) tall from street level to roof. However its exterior curtain wall extends a further 92 feet (28 meters) to make it appear 840 feet (256 meters) tall. In addition, it has a mast that brings its height to 1,046 feet (319 meters).

At time of writing (March 2010, updated Nov 2011), the New York Times Building is still the fourth tallest building in New York City after the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, but will soon be overtaken by 1 World Trade Center.

The official website for the building is at newyorktimesbuilding.com

How to reach the New York Times Building

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
