The skyscraper came to Queens in 1927 with the construction of the Bank of the Manhattan Company Building.^[2][3] It remained the tallest building in the borough until the completion of the Kennedy House in 1964,^[4] and the tallest office building in the borough until 1990. Queens has recently undergone a high-rise construction boom, with the majority of the borough's tallest completed since 2010. Long Island City in particular has added residential units at a faster rate than any other neighborhood in the United States.^[5][6][7][8]
