One Vanderbilt sits next to New York City’s Grand Central Station—and at 1,401 feet (including the spire), it is one of the tallest buildings in New York City.  Over 26,000 tons of structural steel was used to construct the building. The steel deck provided working surfaces, served as a form for the concrete, and also ended up as the final structural tensile reinforcement for the floor slabs. At the perimeter, the thousands of feet of gage pour stop were detailed and notched in the shop to receive curtain wall embeds. It is a great example of the flexibility and sustainability of steel as a building material.
