Extell Development Company held a “topping out” ceremony June 20 at ONE57, which, when completed, will reach a record 1,004 ft. (306 m), officially making it the tallest residential building in New York City. Since launching sales just six months ago, the building has achieved $1 billion in sales and is 50 percent sold. Rising high above West 57th Street, the Christian de Portzamparc-designed building will feature 92 ultra-luxury condominium residences above a five-star Park Hyatt hotel. Occupancy is slated for 2013.

“ONE57 has set the standard for this new era of luxury development in New York City, and this milestone solidifies its impact,” said Gary Barnett, president of Extell Development Company.

Envisioned by a team of world-class talent, this architectural masterpiece will provide residents with unobstructed views of Central Park to the north, the famed Manhattan skyline to the south, and both Hudson and East Rivers. Interiors have been designed by New York-based Danish designer Thomas Juul-Hansen.

“The strong demand for this type of product has been seen in the record interest from both the United States and internationally,” added Barnett.

The ONE57 Sales Gallery, located at the historic Fuller Building at 41 East 57th St. and Madison Ave., has been designed to represent the exquisite space and quality materials that will be available within the 90-story mixed-use hotel and condominium tower. Two-bedroom homes start at $7.4 million.
