Central Park Tower Construction Set To Wrap Up

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com CENTRAL PARK TOWER CONSTRUCTION SET TO WRAP UP NYC’s Central Park Tower, the tallest building by roof height in the Western Hemisphere and tallest residential skyscraper in the world, is nearly complete and should be open sometime in 2021, New York YIMBY reported on December 31, 2020. With an elevator system designed and built by Otis, the landmark, at 217 West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, is a glass supertall lording over Billionaires' Row. With 179 condominiums, developer Extell expects the 1,550-ft-tall tower to bring a US$4-billion sellout. The latest photos show the building, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, lacks only minor work around the crown and an exterior hoist still attached but the construction crane completely removed. The adjacent Nordstrom flagship store at West 57th Street and Broadway is open to the public, even as construction work continues.
