Construction is preparing to go vertical at 70 Hudson Yards, a 52-story commercial skyscraper in Hudson Yards, Manhattan. Designed by Roger Ferris + Partners and Gensler and developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the 832-foot-tall structure is planned to become New York’s first zero-carbon-emission skyscraper and will yield just under 1.4 million square feet of office space. The property is alternately addressed as 514 West 36th Street and located along Hudson Boulevard East between by West 35th and 36th Streets.

Foundation work has progressed since our last update in mid-December, when excavation was still ongoing while the slab and perimeter walls were taking shape. 

The updated rendering in the main photo shows the skyscraper clad in floor-to-ceiling glass and a large-scale grid of thin bronze-hued panels. A nine-square grid of loggias sits below the multistory crown on the western elevation, and a stacked set of cantilevering floor plates protrudes along the northern corner of the superstructure. Meanwhile, the total square footage was modestly increased by an extra 300,000 square feet as a result of the developer contributing to the HY District Improvement Fund and acquiring air rights at the end of last year.

Deloitte is planning to occupy around 800,000 square feet as 70 Hudson Yards’ anchor tenant. The lease will consolidate its workforce from 30 Rockefeller Plaza and will feature an 8,000-square-foot outdoor terrace. The building’s podium floors measure 35,650 square feet, while floors in the main tower each span 26,667 square feet.

Tenant amenities will include a lounge, conferencing and wellness spaces, a media-podcast studio, and “red-eye” suites for employees. The ground floor will include dining and retail.

The closest subway from the project is the 7 train, located directly across Hudson Boulevard East at Bella Abzug Park.

70 Hudson Yards’ anticipated completion date is slated for fall 2028, as noted on site.
