A little more perspective

The New York record in The Skyscraper Center lists architectural height and tip height at 472.4 meters. Its highest occupied floor is lower, at 431.8 meters, so that floor is not the upper measurement anchor.

Central Park Tower stands 46.7 meters higher than 432 Park Avenue at these catalog values. The stepped glass outline and the straight concrete shaft provide two different ways to read that vertical difference.
