The Vanity Zip


When it opened in 1971, the World Trade Center complex of seven soaring towers shared a single exclusive ZIP code, 10048. But when it is completed next year, the 104-story 1 World
Trade Center building will be relegated to 10007, a zip code that includes dozens upon dozens of other less notable buildings in its fold. But the World Trade Center isnt New York Citys only building to have claimed a vanity ZIP code. Since the ZIPor Zoning Improvement Planwas instated by the United States Postal Code in 1963 in order to map out a more efficient delivery network, 43 Manhattan buildingsand their owners, of coursehave earned codes exclusive to their address, either because of their great size or the number of people who occupy them. Below, a comprehensive list of Manhattans 43 buildings with exclusive ZIP codes and some of the vital statistics that helped earn each building bragging rights. illustrations by Brian taylor
