The Citigroup Center is one of New York City’s tallest buildings. This unique building is a 59-story building with an odd 45 degree angled roof which was, at first, intended to provide energy through the use of solar panels. Architect Hugh Stubbins Jr. designed the building and it was completed in 1977. Of course, this building is owned by Citigroup and this building is the tallest of all other Citigroup buildings that bear the name.
