The icons of the New York skyline will soon have a new companion. Located on Park Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets, 432 Park Avenue will be the tallest residential tower in the western hemisphere upon its completion in 2015.

The 432 Park Avenue is a new luxury residential tower a stone's throw from Central Park, is set to dominate the famous New York skyline. Architect Rafael Viñoly worked with the developer team, Macklowe Properties and the CIM Group, to produce the design for an impressive 96-storey high slender structure, featuring elegant 10ft by 10ft square windows. The views from this soaring, 1,396-foot tower in the center of Manhattan will take in the entire city below, from the Hudson to the East River, from the Bronx to Brooklyn, from Central Park to the Atlantic Ocean.

Offering a mix of high-end apartments, the residential development will feature interiors by well-known practices such as Deborah Berke, as well as Vinoly's own firm, while the design's high quality finishes will include high ceilings, solid oak flooring and custom hardware.

The tower will also offer generous extra space for wine cellars, office suites, staff apartments and storage facilities that will be available for the residents' use, should they wish to include them in their purchase. Set to be a new icon for the city and having already achieved nearly $1 billion in sales, 432 Park Avenue is scheduled for completion in 2015.
