What is the Second-Tallest Building in NYC?

And the answer is ...

c) Bank of America Tower

Coming in at 1,200 feet (shorter than the Empire State, but taller than the Chrysler Building), the Bank of America Tower was completed in 2009. Besides being famous for its height, it's also known for its environmental innovations, which includes a system to collect and filter rainwater for use and an "ice battery" cooling system, which produces excess ice to cool the rooms during peak hours.
