Ever wondered what the biggest, most expensive, and grandest buildings in New York City were?

1. The General Motors Building – $4,000,000,000

Standing firmly as the priciest of any building in the world is the GM building at 767 Fifth Avenue. It is almost 2 million square feet.

2. The Metlife Building – $3,450,000,000

This gigantic building is right near Grand Central, and thus accrues huge rents.

3. Rockefeller Center (and its other 12 buildings) – $8,000,000,000

If someone were to sell the Rockefeller Center and all of its associated buildings, it would go for around $1400 per square foot. As a building complex, it is the most expensive – but individually, the GM building is more expensive.

4. Tower at 9 West 57th Street – $200 per square foot

The views in this huge glass building are stunning, and so are the rents.

5. J.P. Morgan Tower – $2,000,000

The headquarters of J.P. Morgan are undoubtedly one of the most expensive business buildings in the world.
