Sorry, @Pdt2f but I LOVE 432. Anything by Rafael Vinoly gets a thumbs up in my book. Also, (second photo) the Sherry Netherland is my FAVORITE building in NYC, so thanks for the photo. 

And in the last photo, you can see 111 west 57th (1,438 feet tall), 217 west 57th (less than 1,775 feet), as well as 220 Central Park South (953 feet). All three MAJOR beautiful projects for Manhattan and, aside from Nashville's developments, these are my 3 other major projects I love to keep track of.

432 Park reminds me of a very skinny version of Milwaukee's tallest, U.S. Bank Center. Curious, if only for its height, but it is an uninspired and mediocre '70s style shrunk-to-fit (which sadly seems in vogue at present).

Sherry-Netherland is lovely, though. I'd rather see more of that and other building designs of that era that were never completed due to the Depression (such as Detroit's Book Tower Annex, which was to soar above 1,000 feet at 81 stories).
