So this building came over my thought and proved yet thinner than the already skinny The Trump World Tower...

Yes and no. 432 Park has a footprint of 93' 6" by 93' 6" and a height of 1,398 ft, giving a slenderness ratio of 15. Trump World Tower is 145 ft by 78 ft, so it's actually skinnier in one direction. Taking its height of 861 ft gives a slenderness ratio of 11.

the progress on this is so fast :o

does it have any floors yet? or is it just the core right now

I believe the wood floor that is going down is floor 2. You can see the openings at the core for the elevators at that level.There is scaffolding in the lobby below that is the height of the 20' lobby.

At the beginning this was going on so fast... Now it slowed down I hope that will go on so fast as well

This tower looks different every day I check this thread, and I can't think of any other project I can say that about.

NewYorkDominates · #**3111** Posted **Jan 21, 2013, 10:17 PM**

^ I agree.

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking in the forums for some months now and I'm ready to start posting I think -
I took a stroll through midtown today and have a few hi-res photos of the glorious core to share with you guys.

I also have a few detailed shots of the scaffolding and wood mess that's gone up so far if you're all interested in seeing them.
I'm lucky to be in this bursting city so expect more photos in the future!

Thank you so much RobEss for the great photos keep it up!

Onn · #**3115** Posted **Jan 21, 2013, 11:43 PM**

Fantastic shots! When this thing really starts going up we're going to have so many people taking pictures from so many different vantage points its going to be crazy.

NYguy · #**3116** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 1:08 PM**

Finally, some cold January air, but these guys won't slow down...

Concrete is about to start.

Design-mind · #**3118** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 2:42 PM**

But first a little rebar action.

hunser · #**3119** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 5:42 PM**

Great shots RobEss!

Btw I just reread that New York Times arcticle back from October 2012...

So it seems like this one will be markted as a 95- story tall tower. No surprise here really as other residential towers did the same thing...

sw5710 · #**3120** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 8:00 PM**

They are pouring alot of concrete on the 56th street side and installing alot of rebar on the 57 street side.
