Funny that you made that comparrison, because some of the contributors (myself included) had a former relationship with Emporis. Feel free to register and help out, keeping NYC up to date. Registration also allows for use of the advanced search function where you can filter results to say: Art Deco buildings built between 1928-1930 with a brick facade.
Unlike Emporis which just focused on high-rise buildings, Phorio is a database indexing all objects found in the built environment including parks, monuments, bridges, rowhouses in addition to high-rises and skyscrapers. All obejcts are geo-coded and have pin points on a map feature which you can scroll through.
New York City has over 17,000 objects indexed on the website.
