Rendering of Central Park Tower (Courtesy of Extell Development)
Central Park Tower, Gary Barnett's tremendously tall supertall project, is inching closer towards skyline domination. A new rendering published on Extell's revamped website reveals the tower's most sparkling rendering yet. Taken roughly 900 feet above Central Park, the image conveniently leaves out 432 Park Avenue and 111 West 57th Street. It also makes its rivaling neighbor at 220 Central Park South look extra stodgy and forgettable.

Like every rendering depicting all-glass skyscrapers that came before it, the image promises that Central Park Tower will be an ever-glistening beacon of hope and optimism, beckoning the billionaire masses ashore. Rather, we're likely to get the usual dulled-out glass facade mottled by window shades. For reference, just look to One57 at the left and Time Warner Center to the right. Nevertheless, the jury is still out, and with Adrian Smith, the master of the supertall skyscraper, helming the design and a towering height of 1,550 feet, the building will most definitely be a standout in the skyline.
Aside from the rendering, no real new details have been posted since we last told you about TRD's uncovering of layouts and its amazing collection of amenities. Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture are the architects, Adamson Associates serve as the executive architects and Rottet Studio is handling interiors. The building is expecting residential move-in for its 179 condos in 2020 and the 7-level Nordstrom at its base is to debut in 2019.
