When complete the Central Park Tower, also known as Nordstrom Tower, will surpass 432 Park Avenue as the tallest residential building in the world. The structure will peak at 95 stories and 1,550 feet, making its roof taller than that of 432 Park Avenue. Central Park Tower uses wavy glass for the base seven floors, which will be the Nordstrom department store, but that number is deceptive, because its stunning floor heights mean the base will actually be 280 feet tall. The first seven floors will be spread across the height of a 28-story building.
