What kind of architectural reception has this building gotten? I think it's hideous, and it would be interesting to see different opinions represented if anyone with a qualified opinion has written anything about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.228.75.168 ( talk) 03:40, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
There reads: the tower is designed to have eighty-four 93-foot-square (28 m) stories
What is a "foot-square"? It is converted like it would be 93 ft, but then why the "square"? I doubt that the building will have that much 93 feet stories, it would result 7812 feet (1.48 miles or 2381 m). 1396 ft total / 84 stories = about 16.6 ft per story.

The article states that each story contains a floor area of 3969 square feet, but just below that in the next section, it states that one of the apartments has a floor area of 4000 square feet, which is half of the 35th floor of the tower. This would seem to indicate a square footage of more like 8000 per story, not 3969 as stated in the "design" section 63.237.9.162 ( talk) 00:59, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Article correctly quotes reference that states footprint is 33,000 square feet. However, based on the 93ft floors the real footprint of the tower is closer to the 8255 square feet mentioned above. The 33,000 square feet appears to refer to the lotsize, not the footprint. JEH ( talk) 20:40, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
The intro says "the tallest residential building in the world" and cites a proper third-party source to back that up. But the "Height and Slenderness" section makes the weaker claim "tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere" and improperly cites the building's own web site for support.
List of tallest residential buildings has 432 Park Avenue at the top based on that same third-party source, so for consistency across Wikipedia, I've removed the weaker claim entirely. 98.247.224.9 ( talk) 16:42, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
The infobox states 88 as the number of floors but the Engineering section mentions “each of the 85 stories”. The source for the former mentions 85 floors above ground and 3 below ground. Okay, this may all be coherent.
However, these numbers apparently include the “mechanical” floors. From the photos, there seem to be 12 of those. If that is correct, the number of floors that are used as residential would be 73. This should be mentioned somewhere.
Then, the same source that makes the distinction between above ground and below ground floors states that the number of apartments is 146 whereas the lead mentions 125. Is there an explanation for this? 74.58.147.69 ( talk) 19:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
There is a sentence in the engineering section that states, "The facade was poured in place from concrete using 14,000 pounds per square inch (96,527 kPa) white Portland cement" - what does this mean? How does cement, which is usually a powder in my experience, have pressure of this magnitude, or indeed any magnitude? I tried to access the source but the page is unavailable.
