28 Liberty Street, Skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US

The 247.8-meter-tall building features a glass and aluminum facade with 60 floors above ground and five basement levels for various services.

David Rockefeller initiated the construction in 1956 to consolidate Chase Manhattan Bank operations, marking a major development in Lower Manhattan's financial sector.

The building's plaza displays Jean Dubuffet's Group of Four Trees sculpture and Isamu Noguchi's Japanese rock garden with basalt stones and fountains.

The structure connects to three subway stations through its underground concourse and contains 37 elevators serving thousands of daily occupants.

The building's structural design places 40 steel columns around the perimeter, creating maximum internal space flexibility for office configurations.
