432 Park Avenue is a 96-story ultra-luxury condominium located on Park Avenue between East 57th and East 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Designed by renowned architect Rafael Viñoly, the building stands at an impressive 1,396 feet (425.5 meters) tall, making it one of the tallest residential towers in the Western Hemisphere. With its sleek and modern design, 432 Park Avenue has become an iconic feature of the New York City skyline, offering breathtaking views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and beyond. This architectural marvel not only redefines luxury living but also stands as a testament to innovative design and engineering.
Park Avenue is globally famous as the pinnacle of luxury. This tower of 104 apartments and penthouse suites reinforces that opinion like no other. It is intended by its architectural designer, Rafael Viñoly, to be more than a feat of engineering, but to apply the “traditional square” to deliver an unequivocal message that luxury should appear simple because a successful life is not.
The tower has recreated the classic Park Avenue luxury residence for the 21st century. That is no small feat when today’s architectural goal is to continually achieve the extraordinary.
432 Park opened in 2015 and has set record after record for luxury and for price. This is partly because of its unique ultra-luxurious qualities, and partly because of such simple processes as making the most of natural light and the city views.
The 1,396-foot (425.5 meters) 96-story tower appears pencil-slim, regular in its appearance, and takes ultra-luxury residential architecture, both literally and figuratively, to a new level. The building has a regular, rectilinear-shaped façade of brick and glass to give an appearance of a straightforward and simple style. But it is more than that. The regularity is the basis of its architectural design and its engineered building cores. It is how the building “works” according to Viñoly. Six double-height baffles minimize the effects of wind on the slender figure of Park 432 Avenue tower. The design also incorporates independent buildings, creating distinct segments that enhance both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
The residences begin at above 300 feet (91.44 meters) to make the most of the views. The 30,000 square feet (2,787 square meters) of amenities plus the services space below are on the lower levels. The interior design was orchestrated by Deborah Berke Partners, and the top-most penthouse’s interior was the work of Kelly Behun.
There are four access-controlled elevators that move residents at 1,600 feet per minute. Each floor has a dedicated service elevator, and a separate, dedicated elevator services the amenities floor.

Some luxurious living spaces feature a wood burning fireplace, adding to the atmosphere and comfort. The largest residences have private elevator vestibules and separate service entrances. Laundries are, of course, vented directly to the outside, as are the stove hood fans. This is not a given in other new developments in NYC.
