Slated to open in 2024 with a price of as much as $3 billion, the building at 270 Park Ave. is to house about 14,000 employees.

At 1,425 feet it would be the second-tallest office building in Manhattan behind 1 World Trade Center, nearly 200 feet higher than the Empire State Building, and more than 400 feet above the nearby Bank of America Tower, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

An illustration by Lewis Garrison, a 3-D architectural illustrator who likes to make video flyovers of skylines, envisions JPMorgan's new headquarters towering over Midtown Manhattan, a T-Rex in what might seem like a field of dinosaurs.
