  • New York City's Central Park Tower became the world's tallest residential building when it topped out at 1,550 feet in the fall of 2019.
  • The luxury building is still under construction, but the first residents will move in later this year.
  • Developer Extell has released photos of a $17.5 million model residence on the 43rd floor.
  • The 3,401-square-foot condo, which sits on Manhattan's so-called Billionaires' Row, has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and sweeping Central Park views.
  • The tower's other current listings range from a $6.9 million two-bedroom unit to a $63 million residence that spans more than 7,000 square feet.

Last fall, Central Park Tower in New York City reached its full height of 1,550 feet, becoming the world's tallest residential building, according to the Skyscraper Center, a global tall building database from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

The 98-story luxury condo building sits on Manhattan's Billionaires' Row, a neighborhood overlooking Central Park that's traditionally been home to some of the city's priciest real estate.

The tower is still under construction, but the developer, Extell, has released photos of a $17.5 million model residence on the 43rd floor designed by Pembrooke & Ives. The three-bedroom condo features wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular views of Central Park.

Take a look at the first photos released of a residence in the world's tallest residential building.
