New York City’s 432 Park Avenue, the tallest residential building in the western hemisphere (although it won’t be for long, with the nearby Nordstrom Tower scheduled to open in 2018), is nearing completion.

The building, developed by CIM Group and Macklowe Properties, is now the third tallest building in the US.
