They said it couldn't be done. They were wrong.
On May 1, 1931, the Empire State Building opened—built in just 410 days during the Great Depression. Developer John J. Raskob bet everything on a vision: the world's tallest building, built faster than anyone thought possible.
The project employed 3,400 workers at its peak. It used 10 million bricks, 6,500 windows, and 73 elevators. And it was finished ahead of schedule and under budget.
Raskob understood that bold visions attract bold talent. When you commit to something extraordinary, extraordinary people show up to help.
