Which New York skyscraper houses the Times Square ball used for New Year's Eve?

One Times Square houses the Times Square ball used for New Year's Eve.

One Times Square is the building at the triangular intersection commonly known as Times Square. The New York Times moved into the building in 1905, and the surrounding area took its name from the newspaper. The first ball drop took place there in 1907, creating a tradition that later became a major international broadcast.

The ball is mounted near the building's roof and lowered down a pole during the final minute of December 31. The structure is heavily covered with electronic advertising, but its role in the celebration comes from its historical connection with the New York Times and the original event.

The Empire State Building is another famous New York landmark and is illuminated for special occasions, which makes it a common mix-up. It is not the building from which the Times Square ball descends. One Times Square has also undergone redevelopment while retaining its symbolic role in the annual countdown.
