285 feet

## Detailed answer

The Flatiron Building stands at a height of 285 feet (87 meters), which was a significant height for a building at the time of its construction. The building's height was made possible by the use of a steel frame, which allowed for the creation of a strong and durable structure that could support the weight of the building's 22 stories. The building's height also made it a prominent feature of the New York City skyline, and it helped to establish the Flatiron Building as a iconic symbol of the city.
