Americas Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
The Americas Tower rises 211 meters with 50 floors, featuring a polished reddish-pink granite facade at 1177 Avenue of the Americas.
Construction began in 1989, faced legal delays until February 1991, and the building finally opened its doors in 1992.
The building combines Art Deco and postmodern architectural elements, representing the evolution of commercial architecture in New York City.
The tower contains 45 elevators and houses major companies including The Weather Channel, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, and Practising Law Institute.
