Larry Silverstein's limestone pillar 30 Park Place topped out today at 926 feet, officially making it the tallest residential tower Downtown. The Robert A.M. Stern-designed building won't be complete until mid-2016, but the 157 condos, which sit stop a 185-room Four Seasons, are already 60 percent sold, including three of the 11 penthouses. The tower's location makes it stand out from many other super luxury buildings; many units look north, offering views of Manhattan and the Empire State Building that Midtown's new towers do not, a feature that sales director Loretta Shanahan-Bradbury said drew early buyers. But as the tower rose, people started to see that some of the most interesting views are much more intimate—the iconic Woolworth Building and the whole World Trade Center site are right there. All of the views have been a major selling point, and Curbed got to check them out from 750 feet up on the 73rd floor during a recent construction tour.
A four-bedroom unit runs along the west side of the 73rd floor. The master bedroom looks toward One World Trade Center. This unit on the 67th floor is currently on the market for $13.5 million.
On the southern side of the 73rd floor, there is a slightly smaller three-bedroom, measuring 1,815 square feet. This unit on the 72nd floor listed for $6.5 million, is currently in contract.
The master bedroom looks out over the WTC, and all the way to Lady Liberty.
4 World Trade Center's facade turns the rest of the city into a watercolor.
The view from the living room is pretty great, too.
Oh hey, there's the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
On the southern side of the amenity floor, there is a conservatory that will be downright bananas. The windows are truly enormous.

Looking south from the conversatory. The WTC transit hub is visible for now, but 2 World Trade Center will eventually block that view.
A few floors down, and we're in the hotel. The Four Seasons will hold 185 guest rooms, including 39 suites. The higher hotel rooms will have pretty incredible views of the World Trade Center site.
Floors 75 to 82 hold the tower's 11 penthouses, all of which have private outdoor space, thanks to tiered setbacks. The top two floors of the tower each hold a full-floor residence, but they could also be sold as one giant duplex with six private terraces. It would measure more than 11,000 square feet (inside), and sell for about $75 million.
