Chase Bank building. This is 4 MetroTech Center. It is the second oldest building in the complex, followed by 1 MetroTech Center, the oldest. This building opened in 1993, and is located on Flatbush Avenue partially (the Western end). Much like 1 MetroTech Center used to have until years ago with its blue lights on the trapezoid fitting (on the roof) windows, the Chase logos on both the west and east side of this building used to light up (white) at night, and the frames used to light up yellow too. This stopped around 2003 (although the frames occasionally lit up during the years). At night the only lighting is the red antenna lights on the roof. The building is engulfed in darkness at night.

1 MetroTech Center (to the left), one of the original buildings of the complex. It was opened in 1992. 4 MetroTech Center and the Brooklyn Telephone Building can be seen to the right, although a building in front covers their view. The building has an industrial trapezoid shape partially enclosing the roof, and has windows, and used to have blue lights at night from light bulbs on those very windows. The shape has no ceiling as is it is the roof.
