Living in the Clouds: 50 New York Residential Towers Poised to Scrape the Sky (Part I)
It seems like every week a new residential skyscraper is being announced in New York City, just earlier this week the New York Times noted that a partnership between Steven Witkoff and Harry Macklowe is moving ahead with a redevelopment of the Park Lane Hotel at 36 Central Park West with an 850-foot tower.
With the mind-boggling amount of residential spires poised to pierce the sky, here’s a quick rundown of the tallest of the tall–the spindly bunch set to soar higher than 700 feet. Keep in mind that just 30 years ago, the tallest residence in the city was perched atop the 664-foot Trump Tower. Today, buildings are on the drawing board for more than twice that height.

How big are these units? Only 199 condos in a ~1,500 ft tower with 93 floors doesn’t add up to much. These massive projects will do very little for housing availability and even less for affordability.
