Beschreibung

Nach seiner Fertigstellung im Jahr 1933 war das GE Building mit seiner Höhe von 259 Metern lange Zeit (bis 1969) das fünfthöchste Gebäude der Welt, nach dem Empire State Building (381 Meter, mit Antenne sogar 443 Meter), dem Chrysler Building (319 Meter) und dem American International Building (290 Meter) sowie dem Bank of Manhattan Building (heute 40 Wall Street) (283 Meter). Heute ist es noch das zehnthöchste Gebäude New York Citys.

Im GE Building ist der Hauptsitz des Rundfunknetzwerks NBC untergebracht.
