Ha, I thought you were talking about THAT building (One Times Square), sorry my mistaken.

To answer your questions, it's the AT&T Long Lines Building (American Telephone & Telegraph Long Lines Building) in Soho. (Year/Architect : 1974/John Carl Warnecke).

To me it looks like a jail cell holding all the prisoners.

There's no windows in this tower and it holds all the electronic equipment for the phone company, and was designed to resist nuclear fallout and was to be provided with enough energy and food strorage to keep it self-sufficient for two weeks' operation. The heat is provided by the telephone equipment itself, kind of unique.
