Big Apple's Superslim, 1,396-Ft-Tall Supertower Tops Out
When complete, the topped-out 432 Park Avenue in New York City will be the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere. At 96 stories, the $1.3-billion building, designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects with architect-of-record SLCE Architects and structural engineer WSP Cantor Seinuk, stands 146 ft taller than the 1,250-ft Empire State Building. Its rooftop exceeds the height of the flat roof of the 1,776-ft, spire-topped One World Trade Center by 28 ft. The project, managed by Lend Lease Corp., is on schedule to be completed in 2016. The tower will contain 104 residential units, ranging in size from 3,575 sq ft to 8,255 sq ft. The units are priced from $16,950,000 to $82,500,000, according to the developers, CIM Group and Macklowe Properties.
