NYC tallest buildings -the Pencil AKA 432 Park Ave

Vertigo Warning - before I start this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it has some looking up shots

This is my fifth post in a series of posts about the tallest buildings in NYC,

The first post in this series was Tower One World Trade Center
The second post was Central park Tower

The Third Post was 11 W 57th Street

Vertigo Warning - before I start this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it has some looking up shots

The Fourth in the series was One Vanderbilt

And this post is 432 Park Avenue also known as the Pencil to many due to its thin and high structure

Starting with what I hope is the less vertigo-inducing shots

I remember reading 90% of the apartments in the building were sold a year before it was completed.

Update a couple wondered about the prices of apartments in this building

I remember reading before it was opened prices started at 7.5 Million with the Penthouse going for $95 Million

These next shots were taken on recent walks, and only when I was preparing this post did I realize I didn't have any not so looking up shots to start the post with and hence including the older shots

I would love to get invited into one of the top floor apartments and see the views which must be amazing, but I also have to wonder if a building so thin sways at all with the winds in the city.

I do enjoy seeing all the tall buildings inthe city and gettign around to get shots for this series, but for me I would never want to live in any of them, I like where i live to be at ground level myself :)
