New York City's Highest Residential Building, 432 Park Avenue, To Open in 2015
New York City's Highest Residential Building, 432 Park Avenue, To Open in 2015
Jan 17, 2024 3:39 PM

High above the clouds is a new residential building in the Big Apple that's going to give tenants an unparalleled view.

Just a few blocks southeast of Manhattan's Central Park, 432 Park Avenue promises to be New York's best new residence, and it sports an apartment that's the highest in the city.

At 1,396 feet, 432 Park Avenue is taller than the Empire State Building and is New York's second-tallest building– with only the World Trade Center, thanks to its spire, topping it– according to the Wall Street Journal.

And if you're looking to be the first resident to live on the highest floor of the building when it opens in 2015, prepare to shell out $95 million, Forbes reports.

The Penthouse at 432 Park Avenue consists of the whole top floor– all 8,255 square feet of it, according to Uncrate. There will not only be exquisite views, but also the finest interiors money can buy. The video at the top of this page shows all the amenities these residences include, as well as a virtual tour of one of the exclusive units.

If $95 million is a little outside your budget, the tower also offers units that start at $7 million, Forbes added.

Living that far off the ground means there will be stronger winds blowing outside the occupant's window than down on ground level, but it also means being able to see further than anyone else on Manhattan. However, on days when the fog is low enough, they might only be able to see one thing over the clouds– the spire rising above the World Trade Center.

Just a few blocks away, another residential skyscraper known as One57 was under construction when Superstorm Sandy pounded the region in 2012, famously twisting and mangling a crane that was attached to the building. Images of that tense event atop the soon-to-be 1,004-foot tower can be seen below.
