Bank of America Tower on 6th and 42nd is the 2nd tallest building in NYC. Completed in 2008 is the country's greenest high-rise building. Air vented by the building "back to the city will be cleaner than the intake, making the skyscraper effectively a giant air filter..." Floor-to-ceiling windows "permit maximum daylight and optimum views... Perimeter daylight dimming and LED lights reduce electric usage." (source: skyscraper.org)
