In Peter Jackson’s King Kong (2005), what is the name of the skyscraper where Kong makes his final stand?

In Peter Jackson’s King Kong (2005), Kong makes his final stand atop the Empire State Building.

After being captured on Skull Island and brought to New York, Kong escapes and climbs the city’s tallest landmark. The climactic sequence places him above Manhattan while military aircraft attack him, creating the film’s most recognizable visual image.

The Empire State Building was completed in 1931 and was the world’s tallest building for much of the 1930s. Its appearance in the 1933 King Kong established the landmark as a defining part of the character’s cinematic mythology, and Jackson’s 2005 remake deliberately recreates that setting.

The film stars Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow and Adrien Brody as Jack Driscoll. Andy Serkis performed Kong through motion capture. The skyscraper sequence is set in 1933, matching the period setting of the original story, although Jackson’s film expands the characters and Skull Island material substantially.
