Behold, the amazing view from the best "office" in the city. The few lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you feel about extreme heights) souls who get to man the crane atop the rising 432 Park Avenue enjoy a vantage point over the city that many people will never experience, and they shared these spectacular shots from their seat in the sky, heeding our call for photos of the supertall tower (though, technically, these aren't of the building). The crane currently sits at 1,375 feet, just 22 feet shy of the tower's superlative height. When complete, it will be the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere, until, of course, the next one comes along.
so is it safe to assume we are topping out before Christmas? with 3 months left it seems they should be able to do that no problem. how many floors/feet are left?

I took this pic from sheep meadow in Central Park a few days ago...obviously 432 is now taller than One57, just looks smaller from this angle + distance.
I know this has been commented on in passing by at least NYGuy; but I have to wonder still:
How many people who live--let alone work--in Manhattan are even beginning to realize that this Big Bruddah is now taller than the Empire State to the top of the erstwhile zeppelin dock turned antenna base????
