432 Park Avenue is a nearly-completed residential tower in Manhattan. It will rise higher than the Empire State Building. It will be the tallest residential building in the western hemisphere. I just want to know who will actually live in this structure, particularly at the 1000+ foot levels of the highest floors. Will anything so seemingly normal as raising a family occur in the 8255 square foot penthouses that sit as high as 1255 feet above the ground? The floorplans are bizarre to me. Rooms seem relatively small for the accommodation, and the “breathtaking” views would become nauseating after a while. The sudden appearance of this building (along with the nearby One57 and as many as 4 more to come) seems ominous to me, an almost apocalyptic foreshadowing of society’s unsustainable path.
