Gentlemen,
Here is where we are as of today. Although the exterior forms have been raised to the next level when the last floor slab was poured (July 22), with columns and spandrel beam pours taken place today, the
actual floor we are at is floor 70 (apparent floor 75). I
do not count the as-of-yet poured floor, even if the exterior forms have been raised, as often the forms are raised even as the floor slab is being poured. Five floor slabs have been poured so far this month, with the possibility that another floor may be poured tomorrow (Saturday), and perhaps maybe breaking the record for floors poured for any month if seven floors are poured by the thirty-first of this month. The months of April, May, and June saw 6 floor slabs poured each month.
Here are two drawings I have done, representing our current status:
The building section drawing above compares the current status on the right to the top portion of the completed building, with the slab pour dates for this month shown on the left drawing. Note however on the drawing that the the exterior form has been raised, with the notation to the right of the building under construction indicating
Next floor to be formed..The figures to the right of the building under construction drawing are the elevations that the city views are shown on the 432 Park Avenue website. The 1250' seen to the right of the complete building represents the roof height of the ESB. On the building section drawing, the numbers within the building on the left are the actual floors, while the numbers on the right within the building are the apparent floors.
The drawing above shows just the top portion of the complete building, with the slab to slab height dimensions shown to the right, and the remaining dimension left to top out on the right. Please note, that there are
12 floors in between the mechanical floors. On the actual building, note
the projecting netting on the building faces. The window opening just below the netting, and the one just above, are the two open (drum) mechanical floors (on this drawing, actual floors
58 and 59 and
72 and 73). Going by the dates of pours (I have the floor pour dates going back to 11/29/12), we are at the 70th actual floor (75 apparent floors).
