The skinny triangle building in New York City is the Flatiron Building.

The Flatiron Building was also originally the Fuller Building and is the skinny triangle building in NYC.

The Flatiron Building in New York City is a famous and skinny 22 story, triangular shaped skyscraper and is located at 175th Fifth Avenue, where it intersects Broadway and 23rd Street.

The Flatiron Building is also known for it's narrow, wedge shaped structure and is only 6.5 ft wide at it's point and is an iconic 1902 NYC landmark.

The location of the Flatiron Building is 175 Fifth Ave, Manhattan, south of Madison Square Park.

And the Flatiron Building in NYC was designed by architect Daniel Burnham, in a Beaux Arts Style and features a white terra cotta facade.

The Flatiron Building in NYC is one of New York City's first skyscrapers and is also a designated New York City Landmark and was designated a NYC landmark in 1966 and also a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

The Flatiron Building in NYC was built to fit the unique triangular plot of land that formed by the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.

Although the Flatiron Building in NYC is not the world's skinniest skyscraper as the Steinway Tower/111 West 57th Street is the skinniest Skyscraper.

111 West 57th Street, also known as Steinway Tower, is a supertall residential skyscraper in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, New York, U.S. Developed by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group, it sits on Billionaires' Row on the north side of 57th Street near Sixth Avenue.

The Steinway Tower is topped by a "crown" measuring about 160 feet (49 m) or 170 feet (52 m) tall, which was inspired by the crown of the Chrysler Building.

As with any building over a certain height, high winds can potentially cause noticeable swaying of the Steinway Tower.

A building as tall and slim as the Steinway Tower, which comes in at 435m (1,428ft), could move as much as 0.9m (3ft) on the upper floors.
