In 2005, we acquired for $131.5 million the rent-stabilized residential building located at 220 Central Park South. David recently achieved a milestone here by reaching agreement, in a court supported process, to buy out all the remaining rent-stabilized residential tenants. There remains one commercial tenant.

This wonderful Central Park fronting condo site continues to be a work in progress.

A similar building on this site was to be Merrill Lynch's headquarters, but that's a tale for another day.

Permits to erect the sidewalk bridge were filed recently, and demolition will start in January.

Been said before, but such a prominent spot deserves something beautiful. Can't wait for more news, thanks RW.

I believe this'll be the tallest building on Central Park South, but not 59th Street. I hope Mr. Pelli gives us something amazing like the WFC. I want something similar to the the prewar buildings on CPS, and a crown like WFC wouldn't hurt.

I took a quick look on Acris and some air rights from the neighboring, adjacent buildings, all of which are empty, were recently transferred to 220 CPS.

As per ACRIS, Extell owns 225/227 W58th, which is directly to the west of the back of 220 CPS.

As per ACRIS, Vornado, the developer of 220 CPS, owns the next parcel, 229 W58th.

I have also heard that Vornado has purchased addiional air rights, so I'm assuming this will be a much taller tower than initially proposed.

I think Vornado was also negotiating with Extell for some of their rights on the adjacent plot.

We'll see once the new building permits start posting.

Something is happening here, but it's not clear what is.

With the higher profile developments in the area, that would help this one stand out more, though its already a good location.

I really hope they do a quality job on this one along the lines of 15 Central Park West, and not a boring glass box. It seems like such a prominent location would lead to a tasteful design.

At near 600 feet it will already steal the spotlight from One 57, because it's closer to the park. But if it goes to near 700 feet then it will be close to blocking One 57. At the proposed 577 feet it's already the tallest building on CPS (not 59th st). The architect has not choice but to do a quality job, like 15 CPW, because just look at all the buildings on CPS. Although it's not guaranteed if the developer and architect will listen to CPS and us.

BTW Vornado is known for glass buildings. They have very few classical buildings they own in D.C and NYC, and to my recollection they haven't built any in that style (only glass boxes). Surprisingly I haven't seen many Vornado residentails either. They're mainly office.

220 is in front of 225w 57, not One 57.

^ From some angles along the western portion of Central Park it will.

I would say its likely to be glass.

You're probably right, let's just hope for a quality design in such a visible location. I'm still (I guess not-so) secretly hoping for something other just a boring plain glass curtain wall.

Since it's a Cesar Pelli building, and he usually gives us a nice crown, and it is CPS, we should expect a nice Post Modern building.
