Timelapse of the construction of 432 Park Avenue in New York City, USA. The building will be the world's tallest all-residential structure once complete.
I love tall buildings, and admire them being built - but I would honestly feel a little "nerved out" living extremely high off of the ground like that. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the crane operator and all of the iron workers that are up there constructing that - "absolute" nerves of steel.
I don't think it's ugly, it ain't the Chrysler Building, but it's not ugly.......I just wouldn't be adventurous enough to want to live a quarter mile off the ground......a building maybe 25 -30 stories, that's the same height as the others, but not one that tall
I like this building . I think its distinct . Sort of like a pseudo ultramodern brutalist architecture for 21st century ?!! Also kudos to whoever designed that tower crane goddamn its super strong considering it has risen to like 430 meters the amount of stress its steel took at the lower part seems staggering .
I have to say that I love this building, the minimalist simplicity contrasts the city at large. I think if the city were to simply produce homogenous buildings they would be as dull and uninteresting as the dozens of identical blocks of social housing projects of the 20th century.
Interesting that this monument to wealth inequality has turned into a lemon. TONS of tech and structural issues for the billionaires in this building. 😁
it's just a long cuboid with square windows. Compare this cuboid to pieces like the gherkin, Hearst tower or the pyramid building. This building could have been designed by a 5 year old, and I understand the engineering is nothing more of a marvel....but the design...BORING
@@Potatoverynice now if a 5 year old could design this building, why have they not done it? No, a 5 year old can't even design this type of building. It's actually nice and makes the skyline look more beautiful. It's a unique building that no one has built yet. So you're a liar if you say a 5 year old could design this building.. some other city should've already had it then. Looks like a really nice building.
@@Potatoverynice the design isnt a 5 year old... also what's wrong with rectangle windows?.. You have a bad taste in buildings.. I doubt you know alot about skyscraper architecture...
@@r62aguy85 Stop trying this, you Trump supporter. Trump destroyed this beautiful country. He is bringing us as close to World War 3 as a war enthusiast.
I'm SO JEALOUS!!!!! I'm a born and Torontonian, if any of you are familiar with my city, you'll know 2 things. First, that you're the only city ahead of us in the number of skyscrapers in north America (yeh, we have even more then Chicago), and secondly, we also have the highest number of skyscraper proposals/approved/under construction in North America, but I doubt we'll ever catch up to you, no fair!! Then again, NYC is much older, and has been building skyscrapers almost a century longer then we have, but I'm amazed at the projects you have going up, especially the supertalls (aka anything over 300 metres tall). Believe it or not, despite it being relatively close, I've never been there, but will this summer, and I can't wait. I'm a bonafide skyscraper fanatic, and your city is a paradise for me! I say I'm jealous because of the system we have here in regards to building. It's a long, dragged out nightmare of paperwork, revisions, and height reductions, and it really pisses me off. I'd die too see all those supertalls you have , here, but our idiot city council hasn't a clue, and keep trying to keep everything under 300 metres, except for our landmark, the CN Tower. We currently have 6 proposals over 300 metres in the works, but I guarantee you the city council will force the developers to reduce the height for fear of casting shadows...WTF is that all about? It's a big city, we're suppose to build tall, if they want sun, move to the burbs where the belong, AND, even once approved, they're not allowed to being construction until at least 60% of the building is sold. It frustrates the hell out of me, think I'll move to your city instead, they at least aren't afraid to go tall!
Toronto is nothing more than a wannabe New York. You don't have the charm of Paris, the influence of London, the history of Rome etc. There's more to cities than just skyscrapers; Toronto is a lifeless, depressing concrete prison.
what a tall and narrow building! i am full of curiosity about its struct and how to reduce the shaking of its top floors, some skyscraper as this tall but much wider on horizontal dirction already using weight of dozens of tons movable steel ball on the top to offset the shake
a New York chimney if it was not so tall and did not spoil the look of the city, that would be nice, but that a slim and yet too high "chimney" comes out of it, so it's really ugly! ;(
For the first 2 minutes I kept saying “how are they moving that center of the building up like that” Then I realized it’s just the scaffolding that’s moving up not the whole building
It has a tuned mass damper that takes up the top floors. It's pretty much a big weight, it weighs tons, and it pulls the building towards the ground which gives the structure more strength against wind and swaying.
I love tall buildings and living in a very high floor is one of my dreams but, being from a seismic country, it is also one of my biggest fears hehe... Great video, I’m always amazed on how these great structures are built.
boring architecture it could have had at least a twist like the chicago spire or the Shanghai tower instead but I love NEW YORK better than any city in the world even my home city of Hong kong And greetings from Hong Kong to New york
If you look at about 1:50 in the bottom left it looks like they've built a bridge from the building to the skyscraper. I'm guessing they did that a few times as they went up and used the construction elevators to bring up the tower crane operators near to the top.
Nope they are there to secure the crane to the building as the crane gets bigger so it doesn’t fall in its own weight. But construction workers probably cross it as a shortcut.
I agree, it's a hideous building. Way too tall for the lame ass and extremely boring straight-up profile. No elegant recesses, no thoughtful tier-based design; just a straight, square pile of shit. For an example of a properly designed building, see Trump Tower, Empire State, Chrysler, the CIBC Building in downtown, the Trump Building in downtown, I could go on. Buildings that actually had thought put into them. This abomination is just tall.
Yeh the building itself is not the best looking mainly the white colour from the outside . A few more towers will rise close to 432 Park Avenue which are much better looking and should nicely compliment the skyline and take away the attention from the 432 Park Avenue tower.

I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the crane operator and all of the iron workers that are up there constructing that - "absolute" nerves of steel.
I think you wouldnt get used to it...the view you get must be Absolutely outstandig
Especially since they actually move with the wind. I would freak out living up there during a storm or a windy day
OMG SO AGREE. 👏👏👏👏🌃🏢. The crane operators and the construction workers all heroes (and sheroes) in my book. 🥎🥎⚾🏐⚽🏀 of steel. 😉😉
InstaBlaster.
no iron all concrete
Who else thinks it’s so cool how smooth the construction is in fast motion?
Whatever those crane drivers are paid, it's not enough!
I heard nobody really lives in that building.
This was me at six playing Lego
Being an Architect or City Planner when I become an adult is my dream. THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! :)
Also, same
This comment section is full of 8 year olds complaining and judging that the building is "ugly". They really haven't heard of modern architecture.
No need for name calling. It’s SUBJECTIVE, my friend.
I don't think it's ugly, it ain't the Chrysler Building, but it's not ugly.......I just wouldn't be adventurous enough to want to live a quarter mile off the ground......a building maybe 25 -30 stories, that's the same height as the others, but not one that tall
every time lapse of a building construction, the cranes look like they're having a seizure
omg so true
Right after I read this I saw a crane just moving back and forth. 😂😂😂
Yep
,,Where can i put my cigar? Here? Where? NVM I'll just put it in the middle of this NYC model... Heyyyyy this looks good!"

It's a kangaroo crane invented in Australia. Sits on the core and jacks up as it rises ;)
It was tied to the wall so it wont fall
2:44 The appropriate height of the building
I was paying too much attention to the other office buildings.
I don't understand your comment. 432 Park Avenue is a residential building and not an "other office building".
The most blandest and ugliest building in NYC. Looks like a freaking lego tower.
Love the building, it looks amazing, especially in person.
I have to say that I love this building, the minimalist simplicity contrasts the city at large. I think if the city were to simply produce homogenous buildings they would be as dull and uninteresting as the dozens of identical blocks of social housing projects of the 20th century.
me too!
How much were you paid to make this comment?
As much as you were payed to make this reply.
Could of not said it any better
Identical? Those housings were made during the great depression to house people you feind.
You can watch Central Park turn green
I really don't understand how they do it. amazing though
Top this vídeo....amazing.....l love New York.....♥️💙👏👏👏👏
Interesting that this monument to wealth inequality has turned into a lemon.
TONS of tech and structural issues for the billionaires in this building. 😁
Every building in Manhattan is a monument to wealth inequality. So give your local homeless people a few extra bucks tomorrow
That crane driver has balls of steel.
WOW! what a *BORING BUILDING*
Not boring at all...

Who hates this?
Not me
*The crane is dancing*
Ok.. the first question is.. Is it airplane proof?!
Not for jumbo jets. Almost no building on Earth can withstand a direct impact from a fully-loaded Boeing 767 at 500 MPH.
Something about this building is so unsettling
Maybe it’s width to height ratio 1:15
Also for everyone that says this is ugly... remeber WTC? Two horrible grey boxy towers? Yeah.
Thunder Storm Fair enough
Thunder Storm they seemed proportional though
Thunder Storm But the Twin Towers actually had a design.
@@r62aguy85 Stop trying this, you Trump supporter. Trump destroyed this beautiful country. He is bringing us as close to World War 3 as a war enthusiast.
@@Post_Stall_Maneuver He isn't a trump supporter. He just wants the Twin Towers back, just like I do.
To be honest, 432 park avenue is a great skyscraper but it ruins the skyline

you just described Dubai
Mark Moreiras True, it also fits Toronto.

It has floors to let the winfmd pass through to reduce the shake
cool video thanks for sharing!
Too much building sway and too expensive
It will be brought down onto 575, 590 and trump Tower
I think i remember watching this vid as a little kid
There must be some outstanding views of Phillip Johnson's post modern masterpiece. Of course, one must enjoy chippendale in the first place.
Did u know that building is same height as old wtc??
Just a little over, 432 park avenue is about 8 or 9 metres taller than the old wtc, but still pretty much the same.
Such an amazingly tall beautiful skinny skyscaper. Prime Park Ave space with insane views.
Horrible design, this building is just ugly
Amazing timelapse of a truly remarkable building in an awesome city.
432 has many many problems.
I love it!
Thanks for sharing, thats awsome
It’s like a rising middle finger
a New York chimney if it was not so tall and did not spoil the look of the city, that would be nice, but that a slim and yet too high "chimney" comes out of it, so it's really ugly! ;(
MORAVIADONAUtv it's not ugly... Stop hating on this building
Its a good building
Eugene DCM it reminds me of the original wtc towers but skinnier
For the first 2 minutes I kept saying “how are they moving that center of the building up like that”
Then I realized it’s just the scaffolding that’s moving up not the whole building
how cost that us buy for that building?
Brent Fuding Fuding less than the english class for you
They spent 1.25 Billion to build it al
😀😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ugly building
its so tall and it just a square shaped building
Fur.ry :trollface:😦
SKINNYOPOLIS!
No iron?!
-this is so cool-
🤭
Very impressive!
I wonder how it can resist the power of wind.
It has a tuned mass damper that takes up the top floors. It's pretty much a big weight, it weighs tons, and it pulls the building towards the ground which gives the structure more strength against wind and swaying.
It has floors where the wind passes through to reduce the swaying. It only sways a tiny amount because of that
@@just_cade yeah i knew that, but still impressive
I love tall buildings and living in a very high floor is one of my dreams but, being from a seismic country, it is also one of my biggest fears hehe...
Great video, I’m always amazed on how these great structures are built.
Arrête de faire des vidéos que dure quelques minutes pas plus
That is incredible.
I would like to how they add extension in crane frames.
it will be better if it hades music for it
this is mind-boggling
This building is not interesting and destroy the beautiful skyline of new york
@E.A.G 65 Its hella ugly. Looks like some minecraft noob made it.
absolute eyesore.
this is my fav building in ny
Oooh my God😂😂
kan H
boring architecture it could have had at least a twist like the chicago spire or the Shanghai tower instead but I love NEW YORK better than any city in the world even my home city of Hong kong And greetings from Hong Kong to New york
NE Pat's 12 dude space matters....all this empire ,every thing was build in 30's.....but now it is different scenario ......
Chicago vs New York which city is better vote here th-cam.com/video/2e1ojG5f-Cc/w-d-xo.html
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ERECTION?
Imaging climbing that crane
If you look at about 1:50 in the bottom left it looks like they've built a bridge from the building to the skyscraper. I'm guessing they did that a few times as they went up and used the construction elevators to bring up the tower crane operators near to the top.

Building looks awful and does not fit the other skyscrapers :/
0x90 Alas, I couldn't agree with you more. 432 Park Avenue would've been better suited in Chicago's Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast areas.
i like how it looks
I agree, it's a hideous building. Way too tall for the lame ass and extremely boring straight-up profile. No elegant recesses, no thoughtful tier-based design; just a straight, square pile of shit. For an example of a properly designed building, see Trump Tower, Empire State, Chrysler, the CIBC Building in downtown, the Trump Building in downtown, I could go on. Buildings that actually had thought put into them. This abomination is just tall.
why it is very tall but the shape UGGGG
Yeh the building itself is not the best looking mainly the white colour from the outside . A few more towers will rise close to 432 Park Avenue which are much better looking and should nicely compliment the skyline and take away the attention from the 432 Park Avenue tower.
Great video, while however the video quality unfortunately is not good.
but is anyone else ready to destroy the building
