Most renders (even 432 Park's) usually don't include other new towers. They'll have to show it in context with everything else eventually.

It's a great building, with some mind-boggling interiors. But outside it looks very similar to Stern's 30 Park Place, and I think 30 Park Place is actually nicer. I wonder if it's too late to change the windows...not a fan. Those of 432 Park are much better.

Maybe it's the rendering but it looks higher than 780'

520 Park Avenue

Zeckendorf Development LLC
New York, New York, Under construction, completion 2017

A 780-foot-tall, 52-story limestone-clad residential tower rises to a crown of four corner chimneys framing pilasters and aedicules where it joins the nearby skyline of iconic towers such as the Sherry-Netherland and the Pierre. At street level, the building engages with architecturally distinguished immediate neighbors: Bertram Goodhue’s Grolier Club (1917) and Cram & Ferguson’s Christ Church (1931).

The rendering makes it appear well above 800 ft.

...Experts said uber-luxury new towers at the foot of Central Park will be the most closely watched of 2015, as they compete for the small pool of super wealthy buyers. They include a new 66-story limestone tower with 160 apartments at 220 Central Park South developed by Vornado Realty Trust and a new 54-story condo at 520 Park Ave. developed by the brothers behind 15 Central Park West, the most successful New York City condo development ever.

With the construction of the Park Ave. skyscraper, the Zeckendorf brothers hope to shatter the record -- set in 2011 -- for the most expensive private home ever sold in New York.

That would be the $130 million penthouse, which seeks to crush the record set by Ekaterina Rybolovleva, daughter of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, who paid $88 million for a condo at 15 Central Park West nearly four years ago.

“That’s the one to watch,” said Diane Ramirez, president of Halstead Property. “Everyone’s so excited for it to come to market.”

Yeah, and Bloomberg is about 100' higher. I think it's just a little higher in the rendering than it will be.

Although, we are confident that this bulilding will be clad in actual limestone unlike 30Park Place, right?

You can be confident that it'll be limestone. The Zeckendorf brothers aren't like Silverstein. They also don't deviate from formula too much, and the formula for this building is 15CPW. You can also be pretty confident that it'll look better than renders. Limestone catches the light in a special way that computer drawings can't replicate well.

[NYguy]

This building will probably outdo even 15 CPW.

[chris08876]

Those interiors are something else. This is a palace within a skyscraper.

That is good.

Zeckendorfs tap Louis Buckworth to market 520 Park

Zeckendorf Development has tapped Corcoran Group and Brown Harris Stevens alumnus Louis Buckworth to market its ultra-luxury tower at 520 Park Avenue, The Real Deal has learned. As sales director for the 54-story Robert A.M. Stern-designed development between East 60th and East 61st streets, it’s now up to Buckworth to sell the city’s priciest listing, a triplex penthouse that the Zeckendorf brothers hope will fetch $130 million.

Sales at the 31-unit building, which the Zeckendorfs are developing along with Eyal Ofer’s Global Holdings and Rafael and Ezra Nasser’s Park Sixty LLC, are set to launch this spring. In addition to the $130 million penthouse, 520 Park will offer seven duplexes, each starting at $67 million. Single-floor units will start at $16.2 million. The building has a total sellout of $1.2 billion, according to a summary of the offering plan filed with the state Attorney General’s office.

Buckworth joined Brown Harris Stevens in December after a successful run at the Corcoran Group. As part of the Pashby-Buckworth team with Maria Pashby, he sold $1.5 billion in real estate. Last year, the team brokered the $50 million sale of 19 East 70th Street to private equity titan Leon Black. The team represented the seller, One Hyde Park developer Christian Candy, who paid $35 million for the mansion in 2013.

“Louis has a unique understanding of high-end real estate in Manhattan,” Arthur Zeckendorf said in a statement. “His expertise in the marketing of luxury developments makes him ideally suited to the position.”

The development team received a $450 million construction loan for the building from British hedge fund the Children’s Investment Fund Management.

Nice, didn't expect it to be at ground level already.

Why on earth would the stair cases be on the park facing side, and the terrace and the other big open rooms face be on the non park facing side? This whole building is backwards.
