Central Park Tower - the tallest residential building in the world; home of New York’s Nordstrom flagship - adds another jewel to its crown with a partnership with Colin Cowie, an event planner known for the parties he's planned for Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Lopez, to name but a few. In addition to creating specialized events at the Central Park Club, the highest residential private club in the world, his team is dedicated to creating a definitive ambiance throughout the building. This includes lights that adapt with the setting sun, music growing in tempo from morning to night, and the diffusion of custom seasonal scents.
The apartments of Central Park Tower are distinguished by Great Rooms that truly live up to the name by setting the tone for the rest of the apartment. They serve as a central place for friends and family to gather, and jaw-dropping Central Park and skyline views from the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a welcome respite from a day on Zoom.
In this article:
If the past weeks’ deals are anything to go on, homes with massive Great Rooms in full-service buildings are in high demand - the number of luxury contracts has been at 30 or higher for seven weeks and counting. At the same time, though, there has been a dearth of new supertall condo towers that is expected to reduce the inventory of this type of unit. Until that day comes, we take a look at apartments with stunning Great Rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and spectacular views.
