Is the Empire State Building the tallest building in New York?

No, but the Empire State Building was the tallest building from year 1931 to 1972, until the North Tower of the World Trade Centre in New York City was completed. The Empire State Building is, however, the tallest building in New York after the World Trade Centre collapsed on 11th September 2001. The tallest completed building in the world is currently Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan. It measures 509 metres (1,671 ft.) tall. However, the tallest uncompleted building is Burj Dubai in Dubai, which measures 688 metres (2,259 ft.) tall and is still growing. Its final height remains a closely-guarded secret and is rumoured to be more than 818 metres (2,685 ft.) tall when completed.
