The pencil-thin 432 Park Avenue represents a new generation of supertall, superslim skyscrapers. Located in the ever-opulent Midtown neighborhood, the tower is placed in the heart of Manhattan overlooking Central Park. The narrow design of the building is intentional; as Manhattan increases in density, it is becoming ever more important to maximize building heights relative to site area.

Simplicity is the defining trait of 432 Park Avenue. With a series of large glass windows set in a regular grid of exposed concrete members, the building offers few aesthetic frills, but rather rises out of the ground as a singular, white monolith. A flat roof neatly caps the rectangular structure. The straight, clean lines of the building’s façade simultaneously manage to evoke a modern aesthetic, while also reflecting Manhattan’s orderly street grid. Each floor incorporates 24 9.2-square-meter windows that add weight to the structure, creating a sense of visually stability despite its slender frame. The oversized windows will also benefit residents with ample amounts of light and uncontested views.

The building’s outward simplicity belies a complex structural scheme. A regular grid of exposed concrete creates an open basket within which seven “independent buildings” stack up, separated by spaces where building cores are exposed to the outdoor elements. These breaks allow for the deflection of wind pressures and help the building, with its 1:15 slenderness ratio, achieve structural stability.


Taken together, the orderly, almost methodical design of 432 Park Avenue manages to fully harness its small footprint without appearing to dominate its surroundings. It is clear that this type of economical design will have a lasting impact on the future of tall buildings, as it becomes more important to consider the long-term impact of buildings at such extreme height

cost of 423 park Avenue

Back in 2013 when 432 Park Avenue was only 10 stories tall, its prized $95 million penthouse went into contract. Working off of a substantiated hunch, TRD reports that the buyer is probably Saudi Arabian retail and real estate titan Fawaz Al Hokair. The 8,255-square-foot penthouse, which when it closes will be the second priciest apartment to sell in the city only after One57's $100.5 million condo, has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and covers a full floor of the building. Being that 432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential building in the hemisphere and all, the penthouse at the tippy top of the building is the highest residence in New York City. It entered contract with a price per square foot north of $11,300


And now, for those who can afford the $95 million penthouse (units start at $7 million, currently available units start at $16.95 million), what awaits is a remarkable view 1,271 feet up in the sky. If $95 million is a bit out of your price range, the tower’s website offers virtual views, starting at 558 feet

Firstly, 423 Park Avenue provides web for visitor to book for the room. This method is easier for the customer since they can book for the room early and they don’t have to go through the traffc jammed and so on only to book for the room.

1.      Purpose of blog
Hi! firstly I would like to share about the purpose of people and me myself creating blog.
The purpose of I am creating is to share information and what I found interesting. Besides, nowadays blogging have become more popular. This is because, most of the people love to share their taught and opinion to others. 

According to Susan Gunelius,(2017) there are several reasons people start to write a blog firstly, just like I have mentioned above, people start to create a blog to share taught and opinion. People use blog to talk about politics, economic, religion and we can even share everything that we want in the blog.Secondly, people create blog to market or promote something. The nearest example is Keknis that promote her products through blog. GAMBAR BLOG KEKNIS.

 Other than that, there’s also other reasons people create a blog such as to help people where a mom gives tips to other new mom or mom-to-be on how to take care of their children and so on. Besides, people create blog to stay connected with friends and family and there’s also people create blog to make money.
