This 1396ft-tall, $1.3-billion tower by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly was first in a recent trend of supertall residential towers (most city skyscrapers are office space). Its clean, white, cubic facade inspired by a 1905 trash can by Austrian designer Josef Hoffman, the tower rises above the Midtown skyline like an impossibly slim square tube. It was briefly the city's second-tallest building, but as of 2022 had dropped to fifth – victim of its own trend.
The tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere, 432 Park has 141 ultra-luxe condos with top-notch amenities, such as 10ft-by-10ft windows, wine cellars, billiard and screening rooms, private concierge service, an on-site health and wellness center with 75ft-long lap pool, a Michelin-starred restaurant and, of course, breathtaking views of all the poor suckers down below who couldn't pony up an average of $21 million for an apartment.
