Construction at 200 Amsterdam Avenue has topped out. The residential skyscraper stands 668 feet high above the Upper West Side and has secured the title of tallest structure in the neighborhood, if only temporarily. The 51-story building is designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects and developed by SJP Properties. CetraRuddy is the lead interior designer for the 283,000-square-foot project.
SJP Properties commented on the milestone with the following statement:
“200 Amsterdam, our prized new development in the heart of Lincoln Square, has reached its top residential floor today (52). 200 Amsterdam’s distinctive crown feature is expected to be completed in September. Construction commenced in the fall of 2017 and has continued unabated since. We look forwarding to officially launching sales also this September.”
Photos from across Central Park and from across the street show the scale and height of the stepped reinforced concrete superstructure.

Wow, a new tower that has actual walls and texture. What a concept!
This is turning out better than the rendering.
Obviously not topped out at 668 feet, just structurally topped out with a nice ribbon-cutting, a press release and a ways to go to the actual top. Greater accuracy in your reporting would be nice …
I agree with “brklynr” — doesn’t seem topped out to me.
Better than most
I don’t think that the very first rendering is “the base”, but never mind. I would like to have seen a photo from across Central Park to fully appreciate the impact this building has on the skyline.
I live nearby, and I like how this edifice looks like already. Nothing outstanding, but not offensive either. In fact, rather pleasant addition to the area.
How come my comment went poof?
