New York's NEW Tallest Building

Sorry, Empire State Building. You are now officially the second tallest once again!

Sometime today the new One World Trade Center eclipsed the Empire State Building as New York City's tallest building. Even though it is currently only 1,250 feet tall, at completion it will be 1,776 feet tall.

Thanks to Athinaios for the great, evolving model, which was last updated on April 28, 2012. I've added it to the following 3D model collections: 2010s, Americana

Some New Collections

I've been adding some new collections of 3D models to the 3D Warehouse. You can check out all the collections here.

The newest additions include 2010s (found with other decade collections in Models By Decade), Elementary School, My Google Earth Models, and Awesome Models

Burj Khalifa Opens Today

Burj Khalifa, new record-holder for world's tallest building, opens today, January 4, 2009, in United Arab Emirates. Apparently there has been a name switch from the previous "Burj Dubai."

I imported a model of a previous record holder, The Empire State Building (by Google), into a model of Burj Dubai/Khalifa (by Fadlulloh) for comparison. It's quite a large building.

Read more about it HERE.

I've added the model seen above (by Athinaios) to these 3D model collections: Tallest Freestanding Structures in History, 2010s

Happy New Year/Collection

There's a new model collection on the block called "2010s"... and it's empty!

Please visit the collection and make suggestions via the link. You can see the 2010s collection right here. It's also part of the "Models By Decade" collection. 

I'll be adding my personal favorites and ones that match the criteria outlined in the collection called "My Favorite Thumbnails."

Happy New Year (and decade).
