Central Park Tower, 217 West 57th Street
Condo located in Midtown West, between Broadway & Seventh Avenue
Description of Central Park Tower at 217 West 57th Street
Central Park Tower, located at 217 West 57th Street, stands as the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere and the tallest building in NYC without a spire. Designed by Adrian Smith, the architect behind the Burj Khalifa, this 1,550-foot skyscraper offers breathtaking views in all directions and features expansive living spaces with grand dimensions and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing vistas from Central Park to the Atlantic Ocean.
The tower’s amenities are equally impressive, including an outdoor pool on the 14th floor, a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor pools, and a spa. The 100th floor features a full-service restaurant, ballroom, and cigar lounge, providing residents with a luxurious lifestyle at unmatched heights.
Central Park Tower’s striking design is accentuated by its dramatic cantilever, extending over neighboring buildings, and its elegant flat-topped crown, which replaced the originally planned spire. This architectural marvel has not only redefined the skyline but also continues the legacy of Extell Development’s pioneering supertalls in Manhattan.
The history of the site is rich, with a mix of landmark preservation battles and developer negotiations that shaped the tower's final form. Central Park Tower, originally known as the Nordstrom Tower, was able to achieve its record height through strategic use of air rights from adjacent properties, including the historic Art Students League building next door. Despite some controversy, the building’s final design—a sleek, towering structure with a rippling glass façade at its base—has become a symbol of modern luxury in New York City.
