June 27, 2026 • 1 min read

The Empire State Building is about 381 meters tall to its main roof and 443 meters tall if you include the antenna at the very top.

Quick Scoop

Height to main roof (architectural top): 381 m.

Height to very tip (including antenna/lightning rod): 443–443.2 m.

So if someone asks “how many meters tall is the Empire State Building,” the common school-style answer is 381 m , unless they specifically say “to the tip,” in which case it’s 443 m.
