Central Park Tower, Above All Else

The New York City skyline has always been defined by its gleaming skyscrapers. Now, soaring 1,550 feet over midtown Manhattan, Central Park Tower is the city’s newest landmark skyscraper. Developed by Extell and designed by preeminent supertall architects Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, Central Park Tower is a feat of architecture and engineering claiming its title as the tallest residential tower in the world. Offering the finest residences, extraordinary views, and superior services and amenities, Central Park Tower is quite literally above all else.

Within the stunning glass tower, the 179 ultra-luxe residences are arranged with generous floor plans designed to accentuate the unhindered 360-degree views that stretch from the Hudson to the East River, and from the verdant front yard that is Central Park to the Statue of Liberty and beyond.

The interiors are exquisitely and uniquely appointed, beginning with the glittering custom Lalique chandelier, with 2,000 pieces of crystal illuminating the grand lobby. Design of the residences is the work of Lauren Rottet, whose award-winning studio is responsible for the look of many Four Seasons Resorts. The living and entertaining spaces, primary suites, and spa-like bathrooms provide a perfect backdrop for any resident’s preferred style, whether traditional or contemporary. Each residence features imported stone, natural materials, and custom finishes. Smallbone cabinets and premium Miele appliances complete the kitchens, while custom millwork and Dornbracht fixtures complement the glamour of the dark or light palettes in the bathrooms.

In addition to Central Park Tower’s luxe residences, the property includes Central Park Club: 50,000 square feet of elevated (literally) resort-style amenities. A 60-foot pool and sundeck grace an outdoor terrace—the only one on Billionaires Row—and feature poolside food and beverages plus libations at the Terrace Bar. Among the health and wellness facilities are a squash and basketball court, an indoor pool and spa, and a fitness center that accommodates personal training. There’s also a private screening room and a residents’ lounge with a billiard table.

The pinnacle of the club is 10 Cubed. Located on the 100th floor of the tower, at a height of 1,000 feet, this exclusive sky club includes the highest grand ballroom and private restaurant in New York City, an extraordinary venue for unforgettable celebrations. Presiding over the seasonal cuisine is a trio of acclaimed Michelin-starred chefs, with the menus envisioned and executed by Executive Chef Nduvo Salaam.

Perhaps one of the greatest amenities for residents is Central Park itself, the world-famous 843-acre green space designed by Frederick Olmsted a century and a half ago. Today the park is a National Historic Landmark, encompassing ballfields, a zoo, a classic fountain, a playground, a noted restaurant, and an enormous reservoir, plus the famously wild tangle of paths through The Ramble.

Residences in Central Park Tower range from three to five bedrooms, plus an eight-bedroom, nine-bath Sky House duplex penthouse, with prices from $8.5 million to more than $65 million. With all of Manhattan at your feet, this is the ultimate New York City address.
