Record-Breaking 220 Central Park South Chooses EDC’s Frame Shoring Solutions
Project Overview
The residential high-rise building at 220 Central Park South is famed in New York City for its imposing stance over Central Park and its record-breaking condo and penthouse sales.
One of the latest skyscrapers to be built in the “Billionaire’s Row” area, 220 Central Park South rises 952 feet and is estimated to be the tenth tallest building in the city.
The project features a cast-in-place concrete tower and required dependable shoring support to assist construction through major high-rise building phases.
