4 Times Square Building

The 4 Times Square Building, formerly known as the Condé Nast Building, went up in 2000 right in the heart of Times Square. With 48 floors and a height of 247 meters, it ranks 33rd among the tallest skyscrapers in New York.

Since it opened in 2000, it has become a city landmark and a hub of business and media activity.

Why 4 Times Square matters

This iconic building houses the offices of major companies, including the world-famous Condé Nast Publications, whose name the building carried for many years.
