Avengers Tower

Stark Tower is high-rise building complex which is located in Manhattan, New York City, the complex is named after its owner Tony Stark who is the alter ego of the superhero Iron Man.

History

The Avengers

Stark Tower was constructed by Tony Stark to serve as the headquarters of Stark Industries. It is powered by its own independent arc reactor, capable of sustaining the tower for a year without any cost to the city, which results in Loki selecting the tower as the location where he will open the portal to draw his army to Earth, both for the practical reason of power and the symbolic meaning of it satisfying his own ego. The Stark Tower was almost destroyed by Loki and his Chitauri army, thus forcing Stark to rebuild it. The only remaining letter of the 'STARK' that previously adorned the side of the tower is A as a nod to the Avengers.

Iron Man 3

In a post-credit scene, it is revealed that Stark's narration of the film has actually been him relating the story to Dr. Bruce Banner. He awakens after having fallen asleep during Stark's narration. When Stark asks when he lost him, Banner replies, "The elevator in 1999". This scene likely takes place in Stark Tower.

Trivia

By the end of the film, if you look closely at the plans for the building, it looks like it could become an additional base for the Avengers that could be used in the eventual sequel.
