Time for 432 Park Avenue construction update! A lot of work has been done lately on New York's tallest residential building. Last time you were reading about 432 Park Avenue here, contractor who built foundations was moving out. A few days later, new guys moved in and started building immediately towards the sky.


Tower crane arrived soon and since then, there's no stopping. According to our source from the inside, new New York's tallest should be above the street level by this Christmas. In the meantime, new render (above)  was released showing this monster soaring above the New York.

Here's construction update from Saturday, October 13th. Steel cages to reinforce the concrete are moving in  and forms for underground floors are covering the hole. Keep your eye on 432 Park Avenue here on World of Architecture, we are watching closely!
