One of New York City’s most adored buildings is the Flatiron Building, which opened officially on November 19, 1902. It was first known as the Fuller Building, and it is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, NYC.

Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Dinkelberg, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city when it was completed, 20 floors high, and one of only two “skyscrapers” north of 14th Street. The building sits on a triangular block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 22nd Street.

The building been called one of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers and a quintessential symbol of New York City anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies’ Mile Historic District. The neighborhood around it is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York City and one of the most searched NYC buildings via Google (more than 70,000 monthly searches during 2021).The Flatiron Building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Furthermore it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

Flatiron Building, built by the Fuller Company and owned by the Sorgente Group of America is undergoing a $50 million, top-to-bottom ‘sustainable’ renovation expected to wrap up in 2022, 120 years after it first opened.

The building is currently empty since its last tenant, Macmillan Publishing, which occupied all 22 floors, moved out when its lease expired a year and a half ago.
