Citicorp Center (former name)

The Citicorp Center, now known as 601 Lexington Avenue, is a prominent skyscraper in New York City completed in 1977. Designed by architect Hugh Stubbins, it stands about 915 feet tall and features a unique design with a slanted roof and four notable steel corner braces. Its innovative structure includes a central tower supported by a podium and a unique cable system that withstands strong winds and earthquakes. Originally called the Citicorp Center, it was renamed after Citigroup rebranded. The building is a notable example of modern architectural engineering and remains a key feature of Manhattan's skyline.
