I just got back from NY and my wife and I finally ventured over to this thing. I've only seen it from afar before. It's certainly impressive from street level and with very simple and clean lines. Still think it's about 300-400' too tall but it's not really bad architecture.

^ I think it's biggest sin is not including something at the top - even something as simple as a different look from the rest of the tower. I would have settled for the circular mechanical floors extending above the roofline. It just ends. It may not matter as much when other towers as tall or taller are completed, but for now it's missing that extra punch. But I guess it was intended to be as it is. The lighting adds more to the skyine than I thought it would.

^ Agreed. Almost everything 1000' and above in NY has something on the top so this looks unfinished. I liked the lighting and which lent a fleeting resemblance to the old World Trade Centers.

I think it looks great, as is.

Sometimes less is more.

I was suprised to see 432 Park pop up from this vantage view from the western slope of Jersey City Heights.

It's funny how they light up random "windows" at the top two mechanical floors.

It's crazy to see how 432 just dominates everything in the Midtown skyline now.

Yes it is quite dominant and I'm hoping in the years to come it doesn't stand out as much as it does now. Give it another two years and things will change. Personally I've never really been a fan of 432.
