Agar Grove Estate

Description
The Agar Grove Estate was built as local authority housing by Camden council in London. It was approved in 1962 and finished in 1965. The tower block is called Lulworth and is 56 m high with 19 floors. It is currently managed by a tenant's co-operative rather than a housing association, and there has been a marked reduction in crime and vandalism in recent years.

Suntrust International Center

Description
The SunTrust International Center is a building in downtown Miami, Florida. It is located in the heart of the Central Business District, on Southeast 3rd Street near 3rd Avenue. It is two blocks west of Biscayne Boulevard. The tower rises from a 6-story parking pedestal, and consists of 31 floors. It is 125 m (375 ft) in height, which gives it a very low position on the list of tallest buildings in Miami. However, as the building opened in 1973, it appears in most photos of the Miami skyline, and is one of the more famous buildings in the city. The building is the Miami headquarters of SunTrust Bank and is almost entirely composed of Class A office space.

New York City, New York

The Whitehall Building Annex was added just north of the building in 1911, it stands at 424 Feet (129 Meters), 31 Floors. At the time it was completed the annex was the largest building in New York City. The original Whitehall Building was converted to apartments in 1999, both buildings became a national landmark in 2000. Due to the prominent location, together both buildings make a dramatic introduction to the modern day Lower Manhattan Skyline.
