It remained the tallest for 40 years, until the 1930 completion of the Chrysler Building in New York City, which was 7 m taller. Today, with its television antenna, the tower measures 324 m in height.

The lower section of the tower consists of four legs. The legs curve inward until they unite in a single tapered tower. There are three main platforms, each with an observation deck. The first deck is 57 m high, while the second is 116 m off the ground. Both are accessible by stairs or elevator. The third deck, which is 276 m high, is accessible to visitors only by elevator. Restaurants with panoramic views are located on the first and second decks.
