The world's tallest building by roof height outside of Asia is quickly approaching its 472-metre topping off point. New York City's Central Park Tower, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture for Extell Development Company, will also earn the title of the tallest residential building on the planet when occupancy begins in 2020.
Located on West 57th Street, also known as Billionaire's Row, the supertall has risen above an undulating glass podium. With 179 homes spread across 98 storeys and a large footprint, residences are grand, spacious and offer panoramic views through expansive windows. Designed by Rottet Studio, the residential program begins 300 feet off the ground, and features between one- and four-bedroom options consisting of studios, full floor, duplex and triplex floor plans.
Residents will be automatically enrolled into the Central Park Club, a 50,000-square-foot mecca of luxury amenities split across multiple floors. A 15,000-square-foot outdoor terrace featuring a 60-foot-long swimming pool, cabanas and a children's playground is the star attraction of the amenities package. Additional on-site conveniences include a residents' lounge, a health and wellness centre with an indoor 63-foot-long swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness centre, half-court basketball, squash court, and steam rooms.
The base of the building will be home to a new 300,000-square-foot Nordstrom department store stretching seven floors. The space will also include six different bars and restaurants, with the entire store expected to open in October.
