432 Park Avenue

Despite the name, 432 Park is really on 57th street. Developed by the CIM Group with builder Harry Macklowe, it’s rising to almost 1,400 feet as a cubic silo of concrete with 10- foot-square windows that punch the exterior.

The windows seem to be at war with the extraordinarily slender form.

If it’s finished with finesse, though, this chest-thumper might be gutsy enough to command the sky.

Inside, the monumental windows and 12.5-foot-high ceilings conjure a modernist baronial grandeur. The lowest 9,000-square- foot apartment floors will start 300 feet high -- an elevation sufficient to see past surrounding towers -- atop a pile of residential amenities.

It’s by far the most important building in New York by Vinoly, who has earned recent notoriety for a London tower with reflections that have melted auto trim.
