That appears to be much too low to be the 129th floor. Or are they numbered even weirder than I thought?
|
^ I totally agree. This so-called "129th floor" looks to be only around 350 meters high, using 432 Park Ave as a reference.
|
The 129th would be somewhere close to the top.

I was thinking about that, we could be seeing 2 or 3 (at least) taller towers going up in Midtown alone. I'm fine with it. I'm ecstatic at the thought actually. Just keep climbing that ladder. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...exZYg.cpt7.png |
Does the top only have lighting on the east and south faces? I don’t think I’ve seen the other two sides lit up.

Fact of the matter is that regardless of what materials were overpaid for to sheath these 2 towers (432 Park and this CPT) they are dismal aesthetically from a form standpoint. The only form they project is to fill space as cheaply as possible. Cheaply being with rectilinear materials that are easy to manufacture; CPT doesn't even have any decent symmetrical setbacks. Just rectilinear glass that, notches and culminates in a flatline. You folks (Chicago103, Crawford) come off as indignant project managers; if you were involved in the planning and costing of this tower (CPT) and paid $3 Billion dollars to build this atrocious construct, which is even more expensive than 1 WTC/Freedom Tower (even adjusted for inflation), you ought to reconsider your procurement practices as you have been fleeced into blatant overpayment. |

We get it, you don't like modernist boxes. Maybe you shouldn't buy a unit in this building.

No, the general public looks up, admires the height and then moves on. Unless the building is especially disgusting the general public doesn't care what they look like, and neither CPT or 432 are especially disgusting (though 432 isn't eyecandy either) "Fact of the matter is that regardless of what materials were overpaid for to sheath these 2 towers (432 Park and this CPT) they are dismal aesthetically from a form standpoint. The only form they project is to fill space as cheaply as possible" 1) You starting off by saying "fact" doesn't make what you say a fact, it's still an opinion 2) First off, neither of these buildings is cheap. 3) Yes of course they overpaid for the materials because you don't like them. 4) Uhh, duh. All buildings have the goal to fill the space as cheaply as possible unless they're just a project like the Burj Khalifa. But once again neither of these buildings was cheap or value engineered. (besides the actual building of 432 which apparently wasn't done right). "Cheaply being with rectilinear materials that are easy to manufacture; CPT doesn't even have any decent symmetrical setbacks. Just rectilinear glass that, notches and culminates in a flatline" 1) Again you calling them cheap doesn't make them cheap. 2) The word cheap isn't a synonym for bad. 3) And? Why do symmetrical setbacks matter? 4) Yep, that is the ending to that building. Congrats. "You folks (Chicago103, Crawford) come off as indignant project managers; if you were involved in the planning and costing of this tower (CPT) and paid $3 Billion dollars to build this atrocious construct, which is even more expensive than 1 WTC/Freedom Tower (even adjusted for inflation), you ought to reconsider your procurement practices as you have been fleeced into blatant overpayment" 1) If you were involved in the planning and costing of this tower, you'd go bankrupt because you have no idea what you're talking about. CPT is not some marvel and I'd say is outclassed in style by the closeby Steinway tower, but it's also not some eyesore, it looks perfectly fine. |
^ exactly. it looks great actually. i like the cantilevering and you can see the quality up close.
i dont like the abrupt flat top as much as any h8r, but the crown, such as it is, resolved really well with the classier than i expected styling and lighting. |
I've grown to love 432. It looks like a plain modernist POS at first, but the subtle beauty becomes obvious if you try to picture this building anywhere outside of Manhattan.
It fits NYC and only NYC |

Looks like it was taken from the same angle as the sightseeing tour I was on :D

It is complete? When they open it up?

Usually, buildings like these tend to “open” before they’re “complete”.

I couldn't tell when I was out there a few weeks ago, but are the LEDs only fully visible at certain angles? Or are the south-facing lights just not fully lit? This just makes me more excited for Steinway and having a whole new Billionaire's Row at night! :notacrook:
