		On the one hand, the building is a marvel of robust engineering and circulation in its interconnections with the terminal and is the finest example in the United States of the Brutalist School of architecture for its form is aggressive and sure and it is a paradigm of well-planned, impressive and very efficient public spaces.

	Met's move may impact race for Verizon building Real Estate Weekly - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But the building's rising cost, driven up by feverish late-round competition, may not be the only thing that will thin the herd of bidders and help wrap the sale up.
		The announcement that the MetLife building is up for sale may cause some Verizon bidders to reconsider the aggressiveness of their bids--and effectively take them out of the running--in an effort to reallocate financing towards the MetLife building's mammoth $1.8 billion estimated price tag.
		The Verizon building, on the other hand, will be nearly completely empty when its current owner vacates and will require a major campaign and investment of capital to lease it up and build out its spaces.

	Commercial Real Estate A Tower’s Big Time Restoration; MetLife’s Immense Clock Gets a Detailed Overhaul, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		That speaks to the obsessive level of detail in the rehabilitation of the MetLife Tower, which is not only the insurance company’s home office but a civic cynosure, with its 26-foot-6-inch-diameter clock dials, six-foot bells and eight-sided beacon, 700 feet in the sky, atop a cupola newly regilded with 23.75-carat Italian gold leaf.
		MetLife will be eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 20 percent of the certified rehabilitation costs for preserving a building on the National Register of Historic Places, in a program overseen by the Interior Department and state preservation officials.
		There were other reasons for a painstaking renovation.“Redoing the building on the cheap would undermine its economic viability,” said Kevin Foley, a MetLife vice president.“The tower is an important piece of Manhattan real estate and an important asset of the company.” It also has“intrinsic value to the brand and the corporate image,” he said.

	New York City - Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park and Metropolitan Life building pictures and history
		Although it wasn't the city's first skyscraper, first steel-skeleton building or ever the worlds tallest building — all things that are traditionally associated with the Flatiron Building — it was the first building to become a romantic symbol of New York.
		One of the earliest buildings — and possibly the tallest in New York at the time — to utilize a steel frame with non-load-bearing facades, the Flatiron was meant to resemble a classical column with a protruding and ornamented base and top.
		The massive art deco North Building next to the MetLife Tower was originally planned to be 100 stories tall to return the title of 'worlds tallest' back to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, but the Great Depression halted construction at 29 floors in 1932.

		The MetLife Building's distinct octagonal shape has straddled the steel canyons of Park Avenue since 1963.
		With the style’s decline after the 1970s, ascending value has made the building home to some of the most expensive real estate in Midtown, but the 60-story tower is perhaps most notorious for dwarfing the regal Helmsley Building in front of it, once considered the centerpiece of Park Avenue.
		Longtime New Yorkers may remember a helicopter accident on the building's rooftop helipad in 1977 that killed five people, but these days the only thing that passers-by are likely to glimpse landing up top are one of the Peregrine falcons that nest on the MetLife sign.
