2. The Empire State Building Strikes Back. .... For the latest in real estate web site design, visit the Empire State Building’s new web site. Oriented both to the real estate professional and the tourist, this graphics-intensive site creates a first class image. You’ll find a list of available space with floor plans generated off a CAD drawing (much better quality than scanned images) and a complete directory of building tenants (optionally linked to tenants’ web sites). Future plans include live web-cameras mounted at the 103^rd floor and an online gift shop. Helmsley-Spear, Inc., managing agent of the Empire State Building, and SiteTRENDS, the web site developer, have created a model web site for a landmark property.
