432 is really starting to emerge on the skyline. I cannot believe how much further it has to rise.

What does this refer to?

Forrest Dweller · #**4989** Posted **Dec 4, 2013, 9:01 PM**

Check the 56'th Street camera, the steel frame building going up on the right, on Park Ave. (the Live cameras, available from the official 432 site)

Aha, the retail space; I don't think we have clear renderings yet. I got confused from the Park Street and outbuilding comments.

Now that they have poured the perimeter and installed some column rebar for level 38 we should see the forms for the perimeter jump in the morning. The 2nd one this week.

Possibly, but it's more likely that it will break 700 right after the new year. It's going up at about a floor a week. I'm not sure exactly how tall each floor is (I think somewhere between 15 and 16 feet) which means that it will hit 700 feet in about 4.33 and 4.06 weeks (that's if my numbers are correct which may or may not be the case!

sw5710 · #**4993** Posted **Dec 5, 2013, 3:03 AM**

Each level or jump is 15' 6'' The core with formwork is just over level 41 or 635' 6'' The next jump for the perimeter formwork will be just over level 39 or 604' 6''

New York’s New Delirium

Quote:

Projects such as the 1,397-foot (425.7-meter) 432 Park and the Baccarat certainly want people to pay attention, though attention seems to be lavished mostly on interiors. The Baccarat sales office is paneled in burled walnut, rare forms of granite and other stone, and of course, crystal fixtures and glassware.

A visit to CIM Group and Macklowe’s 432 Park’s marketing suite in the GM Building is a highly-orchestrated ballet, in which one moves past carefully chosen modern art pieces and photographs of interwar New York cityscapes and cultural icons of the period. Standing inside a full-scale mockup 10-by-10-foot window frame that characterizes the building’s look--and is meant to evoke the coffered ceiling of the Pantheon--affords an accurate approximation of the view from the tower rising just to the south.

Numerous other “moments” greet the visitor as he makes his way around the suite, including a bathroom with a 1,200-pound marble sink. Each of the 104 units will have one, and they are brought up in one piece. This makes sense when one considers that the combined value of the apartments is more than $2.7 billion.

The experience culminates in a four-minute marketing film that can only be seen in the marketing suite. The film was made by DBOX, an Emmy-award-winning firm that also designed the marketing suite space. Tightrope walker Philippe Petit is the film’s mascot and silent narrator, and the film is stuffed from end-to-end with “classic” references – repeating many from the suite itself – from the Barcelona Pavilion, to the Empire State Building’s brief role as a dirigible dock, to the soundtrack of Mama Cass’ “Dream a Little Dream of Me.”

I need to see that clip!!

Perimeter columns on level 39 are being poured, and the red crane is now jumping. We might see a core jump today to level 42 since it was poured yesterday.

Red crane jumped. I can also see people working atop when I zoom in!

Zoomed-in shot here:
The building directly on Park Ave is sprouting!
