Soon-To-Be Supertall 35 Hudson Yards Passes Halfway Point In Rise
Quote:
Supertall office towers are nearing a dime a dozen in Hudson Yards, with 30 Hudson Yards already passing the 984-foot mark, and 1 Manhattan West, The Spiral, and 50 Hudson Yards set to eclipse it over the next few years. While most of the neighborhood’s residential towers have been a few steps behind their larger companions along 57th Street, the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed 35 Hudson Yards will be the first to pass the threshold. Now, the building has passed the halfway mark, and as its exterior installation has also progressed, the future icon is quickly gaining prominence on the Midtown West skyline.
YIMBY last reported on 35 Hudson Yards one year ago, when it stood just four floors above street level. 368 days later, the superstructure appears to have reached its 45th floor, which means that less than half of the floorplates remain before the 71-story and 1,009-foot-tall tower reaches its parapet. Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group are the developers behind the project.
With superstructure work making more regular progress as the building pushes past its lower levels into the more standardized residential floorplates, the exterior has also made substantial headway. While the full envelope will likely be quite stunning, the existing masonry already provides an attractive contrast against the glassier towers rising in the vicinity, including Fifteen Hudson Yards, which is currently the building’s largest nearby residential companion.
Though 35 Hudson Yards has another 26 or so floors remaining, the ground-level improvements in the vicinity are already roaring towards completion. The Vessel, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, topped out just last week, and will soon be accompanied by additional public amenities.
