The tallest office and residential buildings in NYC have topped out! Central Park Tower, the ultra-luxury, super-slender residential tower on 57th Street reached its final height of 1,500 feet, making it the tallest residential building in the world. Just to the east, One Vanderbilt, the supertall office building adjacent to Grand Central has also topped out, now waiting for its spire to be installed, which will bring the skyscraper to 1,401 feet. One Vanderbilt is contributing $220 million to transit upgrades, including a new station for the 4,5,6 subway that will accommodate 4,000 to 6,000 more subway passengers per hour. Additionally, Vanderbilt Ave between 42nd and 43rd will be pedestrian-only, helping to make better pedestrian access to Grand Central. The skyscrapers represent the new wave of construction that has swept the city over the past several years and has shown little signs of slowing down. Currently, there are three chart-topping skyscrapers proposed, one of which, Tower Fifth, would take the crown from Central Park Tower, currently the highest roof in the Western Hemisphere. There are currently 25 skyscrapers over 750 feet tall that are proposed or under construction in New York City. What do you think of the new skyscrapers? Will the boom in construction continue or will we see a slowdown in the coming years?

Central Park Tower has surpassed 432 Park, taking the title of tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere and tallest roof in NYC. The skyscraper at 217 West 57th Street is quickly rising to its 1550 foot height, over 155 feet taller than 432 Park! The skyscraper has been criticized for its 350 feet of "mechanical space" which does not count towards the regulated floor area of the building, a loophole in the city's zoning regulations that may soon change.* With a downturn in the real estate market and a surplus in luxury residential apartments in NYC, Central Park Tower is on schedule to be completed next year with 18 of 179 condos priced above $60 million. *See our previous post from January 28th on the mechanical void loophole. #skyscraper #centralparktower #centralpark #architecture #smithgill #432park #111w57th #midtown #57thstreet #centralparksouth #nycarchitecture #archilovers #architect #architecturephotography #midtownmanhattan #manhattan #urbanism #urban #zombieurbanism #zoning #cityplanning #urbanplanning #nycurbanism (at Central Park Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvhn_E_HByq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v6r4u42wgqn7

The Department of City Planning is finally set to propose a text amendment to NYC's zoning resolution closing the "mechanical void loophole." Currently, developers can push units into the sky by using stilts or mechanical floors that aren't deducted from the regulated floor area of the building. Building's like Central Park Tower, the future tallest roof in the city* has 350 feet of "mechanical space" below the luxury units overlooking Central Park. The result is apartments in the sky with unobstructed views, such as 220 Central Park South, that broke a record last week selling its penthouse for $238 million, the most expensive in the country! Here are some examples of built or proposed buildings with large mechanical voids: •Sky House condominium building in Flatiron at 15 E. 30th Street has 150 feet of mechanical floors, 23% of the tower's total volume. •A 775-foot skyscraper at 50 West 66th Street is planned to have 150 feet of mechanical space built in so the penthouse can be higher up. •Rafael Vinoly's 249 East 62nd Street would sit atop a 150' "mechanical" void. Central Park Tower - 350 feet of its height is devoted to structural void. The proposed zoning amendment would have mechanical floors taller than 25 feet deducted from the building's overall floor area. To keep developers from just stacking 25-foot floors on top of each other, mechanical voids must be at least 75 feet away from another. City Councilmemebr Ben Kallos commented on the proposed amendment, stating, "we're saying no to empty buildings filled with voids simply to give the 1% better views while leaving the rest of us in their shadow." What do you think of the proposed amendment? Comment below. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * A recently proposed skyscraper, "Tower Fifth" would be one foot taller than Central Park Tower if constructed – 1,551 feet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #zoning #cityplanning #nyczoning #skyscraper #nychistory #architecture #nycarchitecture #urbanplanning #manhattan #57thstreet #centralparktower #centralpark #upperwestside #rafaelvinoly #one57 #432park #50w66 #skyhouse #flatiron #urbanism (at Central Park Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMJ_xNFCR0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iq354v4pkb4o
