Architect and team
Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture was the architecture firm in charge of the architectural design.
Architectural Style
The Central Park Tower can be categorized as a Contemporary building.
Contemporary style architecture builds on top of the principles of Modernism and Postmodernism, but incorporates other variables which might not have been that important in the past, but certainly are today, such as technology, sustainability, inclusivity, and others.
From a historical point of view, it is hard to categorize things from a not-so-distant time, and therefore we choose to categorize most buildings built after the year 2000 as "Contemporary". It is possible that as time goes by and we, as a society, gain perspective on the things happening today, we'll be able to look back and recategorize all these buildings into more concrete subsections, some of which might not even exist today.
Spaces & Uses
When it opened its doors to the public in 2020, the Central Park Tower was primarily used as Residential space. That however, is no longer the case, and today it mainly provides space.
