We ranked the 11 tallest buildings in New York City right now using data from The Skyscraper Center, a database maintained by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
The city's current tallest building is One World Trade Center at 1,776 feet, followed by the luxury residential skyscraper Central Park Tower, which surpassed 432 Park Avenue in March and will reach its full height of 1,550 feet in early spring or late summer. As recently as April 24, 432 Park Avenue was bumped to fourth place after 111 West 57th Streeton Billionaires' Row reached its full height of 1,428 feet.
Some buildings on the list were completed years ago, while others only recently reached their full height and are still being finished.
These giants may not hold their current spots in the ranking for much longer. In Midtown and elsewhere in Manhattan, supertall skyscrapers are sprouting up every day that will join the ranks of the city's tallest (and the world's) within the next few years.
One Vanderbilt on 42nd Street is expected to be finished in 2021, at which point it will become the fourth-tallest tower in the city at 1,401 feet. And in Lower Manhattan, 45 Broad Street will take over ninth place when it's completed in 2021.
For now, here are the 11 tallest buildings in the city, from The New York Times Tower to the One World Trade Center.
