World's largest all-electric skyscraper opens in New York City

The newly completed 270 Park Avenue in New York City, designed by Foster + Partners, stands at 1,388 feet, making it the sixth tallest building in the city and the eighth tallest in the U.S. Serving as JPMorgan Chase’s global headquarters, this 60-story skyscraper accommodates about 10,000 employees and features eight trading floors, extensive office spaces, and flexible event areas.

The building incorporates energy-efficient features such as triple-glazed windows, automatic shading, and water
