New York Times Building

Recently New York Times Building was completed. The project was announced on December 13, 2001, shortly after the Hearst Corporation was given approval to construct a tower over their landmark six-story headquarters. In conjunction with the Hearst Tower, the site selection represents the further westward expansion of Midtown along Eighth Avenue; a corridor that had seen no construction following the completion in 1989 of One Worldwide Plaza.

The tower rises 228 m (748 feet) from the street to its roof, but the exterior curtain wall extends 28 m higher to 256 m (840 feet), and a mast extends up to 319 m (1,046 feet). The building has 1.54-million square feet (143,000 square meters) of gross space. On November 11, 2006, the building reached its pinnacle height of 319 m (1,046 ft.) when the remaining piece of the spire was assembled. The building is currently tied with the Chrysler Building as the second tallest building in New York and the 6th tallest in the United States. The tower was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop in collaboraton with FXFOWLE Architects.

Facade

One of the New York Times Company top priority was to create a energy-efficient building. An unusual feature of the building is its fully glazed curtain wall. Thin horizontal ceramic tubes placed on a steel framework one and a half feet in front of the glass will screen the double glazed, spectrally selective, low-emissivity, full-height glass wall around the building, thus reducing the building's cooling loads.
