Facts

The tower exceeds the normal permitted height for a mid-block building; to add extra floors the developers bought air rights to the adjacent buildings including a Swedish church center.
This is the tallest building anywhere with a "®" symbol as part of the official name.
Tower 49® is set back from East 48th Street with a public plaza.
