What Is the Tallest Building In NYC?

Many people think of the One World Trade Center as the tallest building in New York City and in the country, however this is somewhat disputed as it depends on what you consider as part of building height. #shorts

The building that can get you up the highest is the Sears Tower. (Willis Tower) It's 103rd floor observation deck is 1,353 ft above the streets of Chicago. So what will matter to most people is what building can get me up the highest and offer the highest view of any building In North America. That's still to this day the Sears Tower. The highest free standing structure in North America is the CN Tower. The tallest Tower in North America of any kind is the 2,063 ft KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota. However the United States is home to more than 30 broadcast Towers that rise to a height of at least 2,000 ft tall.

They already debated this when One WTC was finishing construction. The spire is included as the height because it's a part of the building, while antennas (Sears Tower) are addition and can be modified, so their height isn't included. Also, there's a major difference between 1,550 feet and 1,792 feet (full height of One WTC) so statistically One World Trade Center is the winner

I typically count spires, but not antenna, unless said antenna is/are also a spire(s.) When I measure by roof height, I do my best to make that clear. I will never measure by highest floor, because by that logic, one story buildings would have virtually no height to them. Even massive cathedrals with 150ft+ roofs. It's just silly. (Note: Spires only count in they make up AT MOST 50% of a building's total height. Although it gets stupid at about 25% IMHO.) Edit: Lets just all agree that lightning rods and mechanical equipment sure as hell don't count.

It has been obvious to me that The Central Park Tower is the tallest building in the USA. I have been telling everyone that 1 WTC got the title of the tallest building only because of that idiotic spire, which let’s face it is not the part of the tower since no one can really climb up on it and live there. Only parts of the building should be considered when being measured that give tenants safe access to it. Spites, antenas etc. are simply devices installed installed on the roofs of the towers have the task of fulfilling their functions such as transmission of television programs but not filling in for missing floors.
