Times Square Tower is a 47-story, 726-foot (221 m) office tower in Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, standing at West 41st Street.[1]

Started in 2002 and completed in 2004, the tower contains Class A office space.[2][1] Some of the most prominent features of the Times Square Tower are its billboards, several of which hang on the building's façade.[2] Most of the large signs are found near the base, but one 4-story sign is found above the middle of the building.[2]

Originally, this building's tenant was planned to be Arthur Andersen.[2] The firm signed a lease in October 2000, but then backed out in 2002 after the Enron scandal.[3][2]
