Race for the Heavens

Posted by:

Central Park Tower, at 217 West 57th Street, has now reached the 92nd floor, construction has officially surpassed the 1,396-foot-tall rooftop parapet of 432 Park Avenue, making this building the tallest residential structure in New York and the Western Hemisphere. The 1,550-foot tower is being designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, while Extell is the developer.

Once work reaches the rooftop, the height difference with 432 Park Avenue will become more apparent. Meanwhile, SHoP Architect’s slender 111 West 57th Street will become the second skyscraper in Midtown to surpass 1,400 feet.
