The New York City skyline has dramatically transformed in the past decade.
For years, the skyline was defined by the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, both of which were built in the 1930s and stand over 1,000 feet tall, as Stefanos Chen recently wrote for The New York Times.
"But New York's horizon has been in perpetual flux now for the better part of a decade," Chen wrote.
In Lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center was completed in 2014 and became the tallest building in the city. The island's west side was also transformed by the new $25 billion megadevelopment Hudson Yards, which brought luxury residential skyscrapers selling condos as pricey as $59 million, office towers, and a massive shopping center to the area. And along the southern edge of Central Park, multiple supertall towers have risen into the clouds, vying for the best views of the park.
In Brooklyn, the borough's soon-to-be new tallest building is rising downtown. And in Queens, fast-growing neighborhoods like Long Island City have seen major changes.
