220 Central Park South ("220 CPS")

We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet at 220 CPS. The development cost of this project (exclusive of land cost) is estimated to be approximately $1.450 billion, of which $1.373 billion has been expended as of December 31, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we closed on the sale of 54 condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds of $1,605,356,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $604,393,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income. In connection with these sales, $101,828,000 of income tax expense was recognized on our consolidated statements of income. From inception to December 31, 2019, we closed on the sale of 65 units for aggregate net proceeds of $1,820,132,000. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repaid the remaining $737,000,000 of the $950,000,000 220 CPS loan.

As of December 31, 2019, 91% of the condominium units are sold or under sales contracts, with closings scheduled through 2020.
