Construction is officially underway at 70 Hudson Yards, a forthcoming 47-story office skyscraper in Hudson Yards, Manhattan. Designed by Roger Ferris+ Partners and Gensler and developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the future 1.1-million-square-foot structure will rise to an architectural height of 717 feet and is reportedly planned to become New York’s first zero-carbon emission skyscraper. The all-electric mixed-use building is alternatively addressed as 514 West 36th Street and will rise from an assemblage of two adjacent parcels bound by West 36th and 35th Streets to the north and south, The Set at 451 Tenth Avenue to the east, and Hudson Boulevard East and Bella Abzug Park to the west.
Recent photographs show a pair of pile drivers and crews continuing to rip up the old concrete slab using a team of excavators that are working across the site. New wraparound wooden fencing with banners displaying renderings of 70 Yards were also recently installed. DeSimone Consulting Engineering is serving as the structural engineer and façade consultant for the project.

The main rendering above looks south at the upper levels and mechanical crown of 70 Hudson Yards. The facade is largely comprised of tall floor-to-ceiling glass windows, bronze-hued paneling arranged in a large-scale grid, and a series of terraces on the top floors facing the Hudson River.
Below is a street-level rendering looking east at the multistory podium of the skyscraper, which will include a cutout in the base for the main entrance surrounded by an indented framework of stone paneling. Ground-floor retail space will flank the entrance and new tree-lined sidewalks.

YIMBY last reported that floor plates at 70 Hudson Yards are expected to span around 30,000 square feet and cost around $200 per square foot. Office amenities will include a lounge and conferencing and wellness spaces, a media-podcast studio and “red-eye” suites for employees, and the ground floor is planned to include dining and retail.
Deloitte is going to serve as the anchor tenant and occupy 800,000 square feet in the upcoming skyscraper project, and is relocating from 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The company will have access to a private 8,000-square foot outdoor terrace.
The local 7 train is located directly across Hudson Boulevard East from the property.
70 Hudson Yard’s anticipated completion date is likely slated for sometime in late 2028.

This will likely be one of the better Hudson Yard towers. Handsome renderings!
Matches the Vessel color scheme.
True. I love the facade details at the base
Oh, I bet the Deloitte employees aren’t happy about having to leave the center of Manhattan for a 1 subway line western outpost.
They will all have to move to the West Side.
Hyundai excavators?
Have you never seen one? Hyundai Construction, not to be confused with Hyundai Motors, produces a wide range of construction equipment.
You might even be more surprised to learn Hyundai Motors manufactures a complete range of CNC machine tools!
All-electric buildings may not have emissions, but the sources of their electricity might. If they use district steam they are cheating as ConEd uses gas to make that.
Beats a blank I gues🤔🤷, Sure is “better’ than the Hudson yards of the ’70s
I think it will be a nice development but… times have changed and skyscrapers in NYC are supertalls. This is a 47-story high rise. 😀
Good looking building. Bright not drab, stands out from the rest of what’s there.
All the Related executives are white men. Very MAGA.
In a sea of blue glass, this is going to really standout. And that’s not a bad thing!
Finally some ground floor retail.
