#HTE



Last night I was lucky enough to fly with @nyonair on a beautiful helicopter ride above New York City. The flight truly offered a new perspective of my hometown, including this shot I captured of 432 Park Avenue. At a height of 1,396 ft (426 m), the building will contain 104 condominium apartments and will be the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. The building is so thin and so tall (1:15 width to height ratio) that in order to achieve structural stability, two levels are left completely exposed every 12 floors so that wind passes through and the building sways less. 📷 by @benjaminrgrant (at 432 Park Avenue)
