All Empire State Realty Properties in New York State, including its Major Office Buildings, to Accept Excelsior Pass as Alternative to Building's Screening Procedures - Supporting New Yorkers Getting Back to Work

The world got a little bit greener when the lights of the Empire State Building flickered to life this year: For the first time, the beloved skyscraper and 13 other office buildings owned by the same company were powered solely by wind.

A newly finished restoration of the Empire State Building gives us the chance to again appreciate the structure’s glittering brilliance.

The Empire State Building, the historical landmark that has graced New York City’s skyline since 1931, is a building of the past as much as it is a building of the future. Despite its golden age, the iconic skyscraper’s machines and systems have been revamped, turning the asset into a new kind of icon, one that serves as a model to other older buildings for how to consume energy efficiently, interact with the electrical grid and operate more sustainably.
