This building in US is one of the first of its kind in more ways than one. One of the most intriguing features of this building is its address. Digest this - If you were to look up its address on any map, you'd be pointed to the wrong location. This "vanity address" was deliberately chosen because the original address of where the building stands might be far too embarrassing given the business that is being carried out of it. What's the vanity address of this building ?
[ Hint - It's one of the newer buildings in the skyline ]
ANSWER: It is the new Goldman Sachs building in New York. Technically, it is on the MARGINAL Street, apparently not a "good" name to be associated with a giant investment bank. So, the vanity address "200 West Street" was requested and got the approval. Pratik's answer "Bank of America Tower" does have a vanity address but the story behind it is a bit different and was not the answer I was looking for.
