Here are a few photos I've taken over the past few weeks. I'm lucky enough to have a perfect view of this building from my apartment in LIC. I literally wake up to it every morning.


View from my bedroom window



View from The Ramble in Central Park (note the Fountain of Bethesda in the distance)



View from the Great Lawn in Central Park (my personal favorite)

Does anyone know to link a photo with a flickr account according to the SSP requirements?
I found a good picture of 432. Looked everywhere including the bbc guide but nothing works.

I am completely jealous.

My view from Astoria... is of another building.

It is easy.
With the picture open, look at some buttoms on the right side, there is one that is a square with an arrow. There choose the option take the HTML/BBC Code, then mark the option BBCode (not embed nor HTML) choose the size you want it to appear and copy paste the code.

It could happen that the user doesn't have the option to share, In that case I think that the only thing you can do is post the link to the picture, but the picture won't appear in the forum.


Edit.

And yet another jump has happened!

That would put the core at 1240 ft / 378 m. just 10 ft shy of ESB, which it would pass by next jump...

It is crazy, they just raised the crane on the 23rd, and it seems they already catch it again!

When my roommate and I got to the apartment we were like, "Oh God! I don't think I can handle a 5th floor walk-up!" Then we walked in and saw the view and were like, "HELL YES!"

Yes I just counted 80 apparent levels to the top of the core form or 1,240' and 77 for the perimeter or 1,193' 6''

Wow, that's the slimmest I've seen it look so far. It usually seemed surprisingly bulky in the closer shots until this one, I really like it.

Pity they cannot come up with a better name for this building other than "432 park avenue". That seems rather generic.

It needs something more majestic, think about it. Supertalls built in the past have more majestic names "The empire state building" "The world trade center".

What shall this one be? Isn't there a name for the complex other than just the address it's at?

432 Park could hardly be less generic, because having an official Park Ave. street address is extremely rare and coveted.

No one builds a building on Park and then names it something else, because you would be devaluing the most important asset- the location. If you named it something cheesy like the Imperial Grande or something it would be a huge marketing fail.
