Extell Development Co., a full-service real estate developer of residential, commercial and hospitality properties, has announced Central Park Tower has topped out. At 1,550 feet, the skyscraper will be the tallest residential building in the world.
Located on West 57th Street in Manhattan, along the corridor known as "Billionaire's Row," Central Park Tower is the definitive New York City skyscraper, offering endless views, exquisite architecture, gracious layouts and an unprecedented level of service.
"Central Park Tower is the pinnacle of development in New York and around the world," said Gary Barnett, founder and chairman of Extell Development Co. "We would not be able to offer this level of design, quality and service without the contributions from the world's most talented architects, engineers and designers."
Central Park Tower's facade features combined elements of glass, satin-finished stainless steel, and light-catching vertical and horizontal details that accentuate the interplay of texture and light. At a height of 300 feet from the street, the tower cantilevers to the east, creating Central Park views for all north-facing residences.
The 179 ultra-luxury two- to eight-bedroom residences begin on the 32nd floor of the building and range in size from 1,435 square feet to more than 17,500 square feet.
Located within the tallest residential tower ever built will be one of the world's most exclusive private clubs, Central Park Club. The Central Park Club will offer approximately 50,000 square feet of thoroughly curated luxury amenities spread across three floors, each location providing a unique experience complemented by five-star service.
At the base of Central Park Tower will be Nordstrom's first full-line department store in the city. This approximately 300,000-square-foot, seven-story store represents the company's biggest statement for its brand and is the culmination of a 25-year search for the perfect site to open a New York flagship store. This is Nordstrom's largest single-project investment in its more than 100-year history. The store will open to the public on Oct. 24, 2019.
Extell pioneered the development of Manhattan's Billionaire's Row with One57, the first super-tall condominium on West 57th Street.
Extell is co-developing Central Park Tower with SMI USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Shanghai Municipal Investment, an infrastructure investment company responsible for the Shanghai Tower, the second-tallest building in the world. Lendlease, one of the world's largest property, infrastructure, development and construction management firms, served as construction manager for Central Park Tower.
