... Living in the tallest apartment building in America
and the northern hemisphere will feel like living inside
the Lincoln Memorial but with bathtubs, awesome
views, and a permanent sensation of wanting
to vomit.
The ultra-thin skyscraper sways four to five
feet as this video filmed from the top shows.
In a day with the right weather, your $95 million
apartment near the top of this tower which is taller
than the Empire State Building will sway from four
to five feet.
That is a lot of sway.
For comparison, the Burj Khalifa—which is
2,717 feet (828 meters) almost double
the 1,379 feet (420 meters) of
432 Park Avenue sways about five feet.
One World Trade Center, which is taller
(1,776 feet, 541 meters) than this
luxurious skyscraper, only sways three feet.
The Sears Tower average sway is six inches
(15.24 centimeters) although it can do
12 inches (30.48 centimeters) in strong
winds according to Dupont.

Four to five feet is more than enough to
notice and have an effect on people.
If you get seasick, don't buy an
apartment here.
