The REAL (1 floor = 1 roof) number of floors of the tower is 103 (99 floors + 4 intermediate floors). The 4 intermediate floors are: 1 is at ground level, 2 are at 10° level and 1 is at 67° floor. These are true floors. The 10° level, for example, can be considered 100% to have 3 floors. In fact it has 3 elevator stops. And the 67° level with the intermediate level has 2 elevator stops. The total number of the floors serviced by the elevators is 100 (3 floors haven't an acccess to the elevators). The REAL number of habitable floors is 85.

This number has changed repeatedly, using multiple conflicting sources. We need agreement on which source is actually the most credible. I believe that architectural and business references that state 131 floors are preferable to blogs that state numbers in the 90s. For instance:
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-city-central-park-tower-worlds-tallest-residential-building https://archpaper.com/2019/09/central-park-tower-tops-out/ https://www.businessinsider.com/central-park-tower-new-york-worlds-tallest-residential-building-photos-2019-9 https://nypost.com/2019/09/17/worlds-tallest-residential-tower-unveils-views-for-first-time/
Thus the update for floor count should be 131. Andreldritch ( talk) 17:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
According to reference number five http://www.skyscrapercenter.com there are 98 floors above ground and 3 floors below ground. Therefore the article List of tallest buildings contains the number 98. I don't know the Central Park Tower, but I think this reference is reliable (it is the primary reference of List of tallest buildings). Can anyone clarify this? (in best case with an up-to-date, reliable and independent reference) -- Kallichore ( talk) 21:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Even though one of the databases I think it was skyscraper page drop roof height as one of their designations now only going by architectural peak and occupied, it's still worth mentioning. If not that the building sits on higher ground then at least that it is the tallest roof height taller than 1 world trade center. B137 ( talk) 02:28, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
