Errors about the real number of floors and the tenants.

[edit]

The REAL (1 floor = 1 roof) number of floors of the tower is 103 (99 floors + 4 intermediate floors). The 4 intermediate floors are: 1 is at ground level, 2 are at 10° level and 1 is at 67° floor. These are true floors. The 10° level, for example, can be considered 100% to have 3 floors. In fact it has 3 elevator stops. And the 67° level with the intermediate level has 2 elevator stops. The total number of the floors serviced by the elevators is 100 (3 floors haven't an acccess to the elevators). The REAL number of habitable floors is 85.

THE TENANTS (about the real floors, not marketed floors) :

Ground*  : Lobby, Retail

Floors 1-5  : Nordstrom

Floors 6-7  : Mechanicals

Floor 8  : Amenities

Floor 9  : Mechanical

Floor 10**  : Amenities

Floors 11-12  : Mechanicals

Floors 13-26  : Residences

Floor 27  : Mechanical

Floor 28-45  : Residences

Floor 46  : Mechanical

Floors 47-66  : Residences

Floor 67*  : Mechanical

Floor 68  : Amenities

Floors 69-93  : Residences

Floors 94-99(103) : Mechanicals

You have to provide WP:RS to verify. Also, i think it is not encyclopedic to have a list of all tenants at all, unless very notable to mention, with WP:RS to support the claim "notable tenants " Matthew hk (talk) 01:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Floor Count - UPDATE

This number has changed repeatedly, using multiple conflicting sources. We need agreement on which source is actually the most credible. I believe that architectural and business references that state 131 floors are preferable to blogs that state numbers in the 90s. For instance:

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-city-central-park-tower-worlds-tallest-residential-building https://archpaper.com/2019/09/central-park-tower-tops-out/ https://www.businessinsider.com/central-park-tower-new-york-worlds-tallest-residential-building-photos-2019-9 https://nypost.com/2019/09/17/worlds-tallest-residential-tower-unveils-views-for-first-time/

Thus the update for floor count should be 131. Andreldritch (talk) 17:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Number of floors

[edit]

According to reference number five http://www.skyscrapercenter.com there are 98 floors above ground and 3 floors below ground. Therefore the article List of tallest buildings contains the number 98. I don't know the Central Park Tower, but I think this reference is reliable (it is the primary reference of List of tallest buildings). Can anyone clarify this? (in best case with an up-to-date, reliable and independent reference) --Kallichore (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kallichore: Regarding both this thread and the one above, there are 98 physical stories, but the floor numbers go up to 136. If the roof was the 99th story it would go up to floor 137. This is referenced by the building's own condominium offering. Epicgenius (talk) 15:39, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, the lists of tallest buildings in the United States, in North America and worldwide are now in agreement with this article (98 floors). I think the article explains this issue in a good way now. --Kallichore (talk) 15:57, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roof height still valid

[edit]

Even though one of the databases I think it was skyscraper page drop roof height as one of their designations now only going by architectural peak and occupied, it's still worth mentioning. If not that the building sits on higher ground then at least that it is the tallest roof height taller than 1 world trade center. B137 (talk) 02:28, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@B137, I agree with that. However, it appears the roof height is the architectural peak, since there is no spire on the building. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I meant that it’s worth noting that it’s higher than 1 wtc. B137 (talk) 02:26, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
