Once a jewel of Billionaires’ Row, this tower is now full of cracks

A supertall tower on New York City’s Billionaires’ Row was lauded for its all-white concrete facade when it opened 10 years ago. Now, the building may need more than $100 million worth of repairs or it could become uninhabitable.

Cracks are seen on the facade of 432 Park Avenue in Manhattan.
