Cladding of the retail spaces is almost complete and now the residential entry plaza off of East 56th Street looks ready for the residents of the 122 units located within the tower.

432 Park Avenue
Topping off has finally come for the tallest residential tower in New York and the western hemisphere, 432 Park Avenue. Standing at 1396 feet in height, Vinoly's tower actually rises above the roof of the recently opened One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. The exposed concrete tower features 122 residential units on 96 stories within a gridded facade of 10' x 10' windows. Cladding of glass curtain wall units has begun at the retail and mechanical equipment pavilion located adjacent to the tower, at the southeast corner of the site. Full completion is set for late 2015.

432 Park Avenue
Topping out is about to happen at Rafael Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue tower in Midtown. The 96 story tower is a few floors away from reaching its final height of 1396 feet. When completed, the tower will rise above the highest inhabitable floor of the new One World Trade Center, which achieves its full height of 1776 feet with the help of a 408 foot spire.

432 Park Avenue
Work has progressed past the half way mark on New York City's tallest residential tower. Steel structure for the retail areas at the base of the building are visible above the construction fence. When completed, the tower will rise to 1379' (420 m) and join the collection of luxury towers rising along 57th Street.
432 Park Avenue
Construction has reached to approximately the 29th story at the site of New York's soon to be tallest tower by roof elevation. Reaching to a height of 1,398 feet, the 84 story Rafael Vinoly designed tower will surpass One World Trade Center's roof height of 1,368 feet. Installation continues in seemingly random order on the 100 square foot windows that puncture the concrete grid of the exterior wall. Now that the tower has surpassed the one third mark for superstructure, it should become far more prevalent in skyline views from the park and around the city this fall.
