Description | A 37-story skyscraper in Manhattan, formerly the Pfizer head office near Grand Central Station and the United Nations headquarters, is being converted from offices into approximately 1,600 luxury rental apartments.

The building experienced structural instability with buckling columns, cracks, and sagging floors, leading to an emergency evacuation and ongoing remedial work plans. |
