Live in the New York skyscraper: The tallest building in the city, defined by new levels of luxury. This is more than just an address; it’s a unique statement of prestige offering a truly inspirational living experience.
The Skyscraper That Defines a City
Life at Central Park Tower is above all else, quite literally. As the tallest residential building in the world, rising 1,550 feet above the city, living here means residing within a masterpiece. Not to mention an icon of global landmarks.
Brought to life by renowned architect Adrian Smith, the visionary behind the Burj Khalifa, in partnership with Gordon Gill Architecture’s genius, the tower represents over a decade of planning and artistry. The result is a breathtaking marvel of modern design. One that is strikingly beautiful.
As the sun travels across the sky, the facade becomes a living canvas, capturing a mesmerising display of colour and light across its glimmering surface. It’s elegant in form and captivating in structure.
And you could call it home.
With such soaring elevation comes unrivalled views. From every room, a wraparound vista unfolds, from the serene expanse of Central Park, to the shimmering Hudson and East Rivers, and the entirety of the New York City skyline.
The tower was meticulously designed from the inside out to embrace and magnify these incomparable panoramas.
Your Private World Above Midtown New York
Residences within 217 West 57th Street are the most exquisite in the city. The tower’s remarkable footprint allows for exceptionally spacious homes, each of which feature the finest bespoke details and natural finishes.
But the focal point of every room is the view. Intelligently designed for grand living, all living and entertaining spaces are situated in the tower’s corners to afford sweeping vistas in multiple directions. With soaring roof height and floor-to-ceiling windows, light floods every space, framing the city below like a living work of art.
Every moment, from your morning coffee to evening gatherings, is turned into an unforgettable experience.
Interiors that Captivate, Comfort That Envelops
Your residence represents an idyll inside the bustling expanse of the city, and its furnishings provide this comfort and tranquility. Designed by the internationally lauded interiors masters at Rottet Studio, each space is thoughtfully crafted with timeless sophistication and the flexibility to reflect your personal aesthetic.
As the leading minds behind interiors for Four Seasons resorts, Rottet Studio infuses every detail with the splendor and uncompromising comfort of the world’s most exceptional retreats.
Each detail within your home speaks to a level of craftsmanship only found within the world’s most exclusive homes, where artistry reveals itself in every touch and texture. Rooms are richly appointed in light and dark colour palettes, evoking luminosity and warm depth that is easily tailored to your tastes.
In your kitchen, bespoke Smallbone millwork elegantly anchors each space, complemented by chef-caliber Miele appliances for effortless culinary creation. The bathrooms offer an equally indulgent experience; a glamorous sanctuary wrapped in the finest imported stones and enhanced by custom woodwork and impeccably crafted Dornbracht fittings.
This is a home that doesn’t merely impress, but redefines what luxurious living can be.
Distinctive Residences in Central Park Tower
217 West 57 Street is home to 179 ultra-luxury residences, a deliberately limited collection that amplifies both privacy and prestige. Perched from the 32nd floor upward, every residence commands sweeping, uninterrupted panoramas of the surrounding cityscape.
Choose from an extraordinary collection of residences — from luminous corner apartments and expansive full-floor homes to multi-level duplexes and rare trophy penthouses with anywhere from 2 to 8 bedrooms.
At the tower’s pinnacle, a select set of multi-level apartments awaits, including a triplex penthouse spanning 17,545 square feet of impeccably crafted interior space, complemented by expansive outdoor terraces.
Many of these exceptional homes feature private elevators, dedicated lobbies, and soaring salon ceilings — architectural hallmarks more commonly found in grand standalone mansions than in Manhattan condominiums.
Whether you’re seeking an elegant pied-à-terre or a light-filled residence with room to entertain, every home at Central Park Tower delivers a once-in-a-generation experience and the ultimate expression of modern luxury living.
