Still waiting to see the lighting, which should help a little.

Guess I'm a little confused. I thought floor 95/1450' was the highest occupied floor (penthouse) is that not the case? It would seem not judging by the lighting strips beginning at that level and the "EMR" designation.

If you look closely on the east side of CPT, it looks like there's lighting at each "tier", as well as each of the top floors!

^That's pretty sharp looking!
|
|
It's so awkward. Incongruous dark mechanical bands on one side, clumsy massing, the blunt top.
I think I've said it before but it makes 432 Park look well thought out in comparison. |

Oof. I don’t see how anyone could think it’s worse than the lazy design of 432. They’ve at least made attempts to provide visual interest and a proper crown here. Is the result as stellar as 111? No, but it’s a perfectly fine building nonetheless.
|
432's beauty is in its simplicity. This one is clunky.
|
add ze spire!

Considering their deleterious effects on the NYC skyline and how bad they look hopefully developers with some semblance of self-dignity would not want to have something so prominently ugly attached to their legacies, despite the favorable profit margins. The Jokers whom enabled these 2 atrocious conspicuous behemoths obviously did not mind their legacies tarnished. Sheesh! |
CPT desperately needs a spire.
I mean, it's fine, as a background building, but as the current tallest in Midtown, it screams for a spire. |

Extell Development Co. commences closings at Central Park Tower
Apr 6, 2021 New York Real Estate Journal Excerpt According to Extell Development Co., Central Park Tower – the tallest residential building in the world at 1,550 feet in height – has commenced closings and will be welcoming its first residents to the building. Central Park Tower offers Central Park and skyline views, architecture, thoughtfully-designed floor plans and one of the world’s most exclusive private clubs. This landmark skyscraper will set a new standard for resort-style luxury living in the city and beyond. “Now that closings have commenced, residents will be able to experience the outstanding quality and unique lifestyle that is offered at Central Park Tower,” said Gary Barnett, founder and chairman of Extell Development Co. “With first-class product and exceptional pricing that speaks to today’s market, Central Park Tower is the very best you can buy on Central Park. There is truly no other building like it.” More : https://nyrej.com/extell-development...ral-park-tower |
So how much longer before the remaining hoist is finally gone?
|
NY YIMBY says: “YIMBY expects the hoist to be fully dismantled sometime between late spring and summer. The sidewalk scaffolding along West 57th Street that bears the Nordstrom name will also be removed once work on the tower above is totally completed.”
|
|
When will they close the thin narrow gap that is very high where it’s small piece of skeleton is exposed?

It's almost time! I think by the end of the summer, the next two icons to grace the skyline will be lit up (if only to test the lights)! CPT will showcase a variety of colors across multiple rows of LEDs, while 111 will have its east and west sides lit aglow with bands of white light on the terracotta, along with a glowing and shimmering crown!

I don't know if there's a specific name for them, but I felt like I saw some rendering here a year or so ago with those "bands" around floors 25, 50, 75, and 95th floor lit up in blue or violet. Feels like a waste of an opportunity not to allow for changing those lights on those floors to match seasons (for instance, blue/white in the winter, yellow in the spring, red/violet in the summer, and orange in the fall), special occasions, or just to stand out like the Bank of America building does nowadays in Dallas (it used to just glow green but was changed out recently to have bright & colorful LEDs seen below)!
Guess we'll see this year if there's some flair to enjoy with CPT at night :D https://i.imgur.com/8mNr1lfh.jpg |

I first thought this was CPT testing the rainbow lights but later realized that it was a different building.
|
|
I think this building looks awesome now that it's almost done and the elevator is down, wow!
|
More so than any other building coming up of late, this one reminds me so much of the Panel and Girder toy set* I had as a kid. It is also reminding me of when mini-blinds made a comeback in the late 70's and Clairol named their hair color "Brushed Aluminum" in honor of them. All in all, a building I think I can appreciate.
* Kenner toys, ca 1964... |
Hopefully it won't look anything like that tacky mess.
