And by that measure, the sales (or lack thereof) are what will determine whether or not the project is a success.

You obviously don't know much about what you're talking about. But all you have to do is look at 220 Central Park South, and the sales there, along with the prices, and you would know just how wrong you are.

Not even remotely an accurate comparison. 220 is ON central park and the billionaire row skyscrapers are on 57th street. Their claim to fame is their height and views which absolutely are in competition with one another.

No, it's all Billionaire's Row. And they all have considerable height. And 220 literally backs up to CPT.

I'm sorry, that's not even an opinion, that's just dumb. All of these towers along billionaires row - of which 220 is tops - are basically selling for their park views. Everyone knows that, even the casual observer. Stop being obtuse for the sake of your argument. It doesn't look good.

Lol, you know it doesn't even take a minute to go on Google Maps and look for the building just to see it's sandwiched between 58th and 59th. Not on Central Park...no skyscraper will ever be built on that

^ Exactly. Not to mention one of these towers went so far as to literally call itself "Central Park Tower". Another doesn't even have southern views - where most of the skyline is,
capitalizing instead on the Central Park views to the north.

There's Central Park Tower, which recently became the tallest residential building in the world. Then there's 220 Central Park South,
which broke real-estate records when billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin paid $238 million for a spread of condos.
Both towers are expected to be finished sometime in 2020.

As Stern said at Tuesday’s topping-out and model apartment unveiling for the 1,428-foot residential tower, “you can either be in the bleacher seats,
or dead center on the 50-yard line.” The analogy refers to the tower’s location just off the park’s southern boundary, a position that grants it almost
perfectly symmetrical views north over Central Park. It’s one of the main selling points of the building

Composed of the original landmarked Steinway Hall and a new tower by SHoP Architects with bespoke interiors by Studio Sofield.
Perfectly centered on Central Park.

It's a pity that the steeple top does not face the park, but I guess that was the way the parcel is.
