From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Chrysler Building was the world's tallest building from 27 May 1930 to 1931.* Preceded by 40 Wall Street Surpassed by Empire State Building Information Location 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, United States Status Complete Constructed 1929-1930 Height Antenna/Spire 318.9 m (1, 046 ft) Roof 282.0 m (925 ft) Top floor 274.0 m (899 ft) Technical details Floor count 77 Floor area 1, 195, 000 sq ft (111, 000 m2) Elevator count 32 Companies Architect William Van Alen Owner Abu Dhabi Investment Council (75%) Tishman Speyer (25%) Fully habitable, self-supported, from main entrance to highest structural or architectural top; see the list of tallest buildings in the world for other listings. The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco skyscraper in New York City, located on the east side of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Standing at 319 metres (1, 047 ft), it was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. However, the Chrysler Building remains the world's tallest brick building. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City until December 2007, when the spire was raised on the 365.8-metre (1, 200 ft) Bank of America building, pushing the Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, the New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with the Chrysler Building in height. The Chrysler Building is a classic example of Art Deco architecture and considered by many contemporary architects to be one of the finest buildings in New York City (see below). In 2007, it was ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.
