After 6 hours since commencing the pouring at 7:00AM (EST), the final slab section has been completed. Finishing operations with power trowels, and placing control joints will complete the slab.
The foundation is now substantially complete.
Looking back in time when demolition, excavation, forming perimeter walls, placing footings and slabs, the foundation construction was done in relatively fast time. After inspection, the completed foundation can be handed over to the next contractor.
It will be the 3rd tallest (official height) and the 2nd tallest (roof height) in the U.S., respectively.
Actually, it will just be the 2nd tallest overall once the not spire on 1WTC is ruled an antenna. So it will be the tallest in New York.
Whew, for a second there it looked like New York might go awhile without a boring box as its tallest...
As of now 1 wtc spire has not been ruled an antenna, so as for now 432 will be the third tallest building by pinnacle, and the tallest building by roof in New York,
As of now 1 wtc spire has not been ruled an antenna
It hasn't been ruled a spire either. But for the benefit of the argument, let's say the Freedom Tower will be 1,776 ft. If not, then yes, 432 Park will be taller. That's assuming at this point, they aren't secretly planning a 400 ft spire of their on at 432 Park, then everything goes out the window... But it doesn't matter. Both will be supertall towers on the City's skyline.

^^ Thank you. I believe I said the exact same thing about One57, once upon a time.
However - I think they could have really spiced this building up by completely separating the facade at each of the open-air segments. Some detail on the windows would have been nice too. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
As holds true for any structure, what makes or breaks it are the materials used.
Lets just wait and see . . .
I think this tower has the potential to surprise a lot of people, because there are a lot of unknowns.

I don't know wether to hate or love this tower. How can anybody hate or love it just based on renderings? The answer is, you can't, so honestly, lets all just wait for it to be at least 4 stories above ground before we even bring up wether we hate it or love it.
