Central Park Tower

Central Park Tower is a residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan that rises 472 meters (1550 feet) across 98 floors. The building stands directly along the southwestern edge of Central Park, forming a slender glass structure that extends above the surrounding skyline.

Construction began in September 2014 and the building reached its full height in September 2019. The completion made it the second tallest building in New York City after One World Trade Center.

The tower attracts international buyers who seek residence along Billionaires' Row, one of the most exclusive addresses in the city. Many owners use their units as secondary homes, reflecting the global nature of luxury real estate in Manhattan today.

The building shares its base with a Nordstrom department store that occupies the first five floors, while residential units begin above. Visitors can view the exterior from street level, but access to residential areas is restricted to residents only.

The structure uses a cantilever design that extends over the neighboring Art Students League building, allowing maximum views toward Central Park. This engineering solution made it possible to build a narrower tower on a smaller plot.
