When 432 Park Avenue was being built, the economy was slowly recovering and the financial firmament was beginning to thaw. Foreign buyers had become desperate for big returns and were looking for discretion. CIM, a financial firm owned by the Vector Group, and Harry Macklowe, a developer, formed a partnership to develop the tower.

Although, the building has a regular grid of exposed concrete members. Moreover, these members create spaces for the building’s cores and impart a sense of strength and stability. They also serve as a physical barrier. There have been several reports of water entering the elevator shafts due to a “blown” flange. This, in addition to a “water line failure,” has led to a spate of complaints from the building’s residents.
