Eleven Times Square on 42nd and 8th was the last one completed in 2009 so that may be why it's not yet listed in New York City's tallest skyscrapers. As you can see from this picture, it's nearly as tall as the New York Times building beside it. The building's efficient glass curtain wall “affords benefits in reducing heat gain, minimizing thermal loss and decreasing heating, cooling and overall utility costs” (source: nyrej.com). “75% of the space will be naturally lit” (source: Times Square Alliance). The building is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certifified. |
