The Skyscraper Museum is devoted to the study of high-rise building, past, present, and future. The Museum explores tall buildings as objects of design, products of technology, sites of construction, investments in real estate, and places of work and residence.

Notable New Yorkers 2010
Making New York History Award

honoring The Empire State Building & Anthony E. Malkin

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
6:00 - 8:00 PM

Join us for a festive cocktail party to salute New York's signature skyscraper, The Empire State Building, which will receive the Museum's 2010 Making New York History Award in honor of--in the tower's 79th year--the glorious restoration of its original Art Deco lobby and the beginning of a transformative "green" rejuvenation. Accepting the award will be Anthony Malkin, President of Malkin Holdings LLC and its affiliates Malkin Properties and W&H Properties. Tony has led the $550 million Empire State ReBuilding program, including the faithful recreation of the original Art Deco lobby. With partners, the Clinton Climate Initiative, Johnson Controls, Jones Lang LaSalle, and the Rocky Mountain Institute, he is transforming the Empire State Building into a 21st-century leader in environmental awareness and energy efficiency.
