This style of building has emerged as a consequence of sky-high real-estate values, which make it commercially viable to build slim residential towers on small, awkwardly shaped lots. In order to recoup the costs of construction on a tower like this the apartments have to sell for thousands of dollars per square foot (apartments in the Central Park Tower are reportedly selling for more than $7,000 per square foot, which is more than three times the average for Manhattan – and that's already the highest-priced real estate in America).

The cheapest units in the building reportedly sold for prices in excess of $6 million, and the larger upper storey apartments were listed for $63 million. The penthouse suite, which occupies the top three floors and features an outdoor roof terrace, has not been publicly listed, but is expected to sell for more than $100 million."
