Whatever the case, let’s just have fun at the super-rich experiencing … well, what most New Yorkers have to face in their already overpriced, poorly maintained, and salary-draining apartments.Ĥ32 Park Avenue is the most obnoxious building in all of Manhattan and this story warmed my heart. Though he is not one for self-pitying, he admitted shortly after the building’s opening that major mistakes were made… and then he quickly recanted, probably pressured by the financiers. Moreover, the architect behind this thing happens to be the same one behind a London skyscraper that turned into a literal death ray. Well, the first thing you need to know is that you should never, ever, ever, ever underestimate the capacity of famous architects to mess up in the most colossal way you don’t want to imagine. On the other, we are talking about apartments for billionaires here, or very close to that, just look at the prices of these… actually pretty classy things at Zillowporn! I mean, they probably only hired the most renowned architects and engineers to take care of the maths, right? You might be wondering by now just how serious these structural issues are? On the one hand, you can’t build something like this without some growing pains. Consider that the Empire State Building already sways a couple of inches with strong winds and that one has the classical “wedding cake” shape. This also makes a hell of a lot of noise.
What do you think could be the most unsettling thing to happen if you’re inside a superthin, supertall building? According to these articles by the New York Times, the building has been suffering from multiple instances of flooding and leaks, electrical explosions, multiple instances of people being trapped in the elevators, and… try to guess, don’t click on the links. Turns out that the building, six years after its grand opening, is a complete disaster, and the owners are suing the developer for hundreds of millions of dollars. Have you heard about 432 Park Avenue in New York City? That super-skinny, 400-meter tall luxury condo that looks like what a child would draw over a picture of Manhattan’s skyline?
