Still under construction???

Is it possible that the tower is still under consruction as of August 2009? The building has been topped out in December 2007. Can the construction works take a so long time? The Burj Dubai in Dubai is ready for occupancy in September 2009, and it has been topped in January 2009. In comparison, the Burj Dubai is taller than two Bank of America Towers. The building should be finsihed since winter 2008/9. --Jerchel (talk) 12:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the CTBUH updated their list recently, and they say that it is now complete. They typically don't label buildings as "completed" until they are at least partially occupied.

How many floors

In this article I see 58 floors heigth. Under the photo I see 55 floors. I see three sites that mention 54 floors, and no sites that mention some other number. I should say 54. Any comment? Salix2 (talk) 21:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My comment is 54 or 58, there should be some mention of why the shorter Chrysler building has 77 floors. There must be an extraordinary difference in floor height or something. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 00:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

Despite the fact that this is the second tallest building in New York City, I can't find any relevant reviews of the architecture. It would be nice to include a section on that if possible.Sylvain1972 (talk) 16:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Spire

What is it used for? Or is it purely cosmetic? What drove the owners, or whoever, to build it? It's a "curiosity".. --HawkFest (talk) 13:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:29, 14 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Nominator has expanded the article 5x since their first edit, and within the time frame, it is new enough and long enough (I love how your concept of "adding some stuff" is 60,000kb of content). After counting each letter by hand it is also longer than 1,500 characters. It's hard to be biassed towards a building but this article is nonetheless neutral, and is cited to excellent quality. Copyvio declares a 25% copyright violation, but basically, all come from both the article and sources saying "The Bank of America". Prefer Alt0 as it is most delicious, followed by Alt3. QPQ completed. Good Job! Panini!^🥪 13:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
