Time Warner Center is a mixed-use skyscraper in New York City, currently under construction. Its design, by Mustafa Kemal Abadan for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, consists of two towers of 229 m (750 ft) each. Construction began in November 2000, and a topping-out ceremony was held 27 February 2003.
The total floor area of 2.8 million ft² (260,000 m²) will be divided between offices, residental condominiums, and the Mandarin Oriental hotel.
Time Warner Center has attracted much attention as the first major building to be completed since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, although it was already under construction before the attacks. Additional publicity was generated in 2003 when David Martinez $45 million dollars for a penthouse condo, a record for New York residental sales.
