when they moved the construction frame down a few floors below the cantilevered section i was kind of bummed to see there was no glass bottomed swimming pool.

talk about a true missed opportunity.

Central Park Tower’s Glass Curtain Wall Approaches Its 1,550-Foot Parapet, In Midtown



Quote:
Exterior work on Extell‘s Central Park Tower is nearing the finish line. The reflective glass curtain wall is approaching the parapet of the 1,550-foot-tall skyscraper, which is also addressed 217 West 57th Street. Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, the supertall has the highest roof level of any building in the Western Hemisphere and will yield 179 residences, with Extell projecting a $4 billion sellout.

The temporary supports that were positioned beneath the cantilevering section of Central Park Tower have been shifted downward by four stories.

The exterior hoist is still affixed to the backside of the tower facing Central Park, and will remain standing until interior work is complete. The construction crane is also in place, but will likely finish operating before the end of the year.

Central Park Tower is likely to be completed sometime around the end of the year.

I think this building is turning out absolutely fine. The silvery facade effect that Gary Barnett spoke of is totally coming across and I think that once the rest of the protective film is removed it will appear as a shimmering beacon on the skyline just as it was intended.

I am not associated with Extell this is actually my own opinion, just to be clear

It's incredible what a few years of progress looks like these days in NY! You'd only need to go back to around 2016 and that still would've been true about Citicorp! But with construction resuming across thousands of sites, we should see CPT topped out and fully clad before September! Hopefully lit before 2021

Yeah, Citicorp, Trump, and Bloomberg were the "big" towers back then.
