At number 17 on our year-end construction countdown is 70 Hudson Yards, a 717-foot-tall commercial skyscraper in Hudson Yards, Manhattan. Designed by Roger Ferris + Partners and Gensler and developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the 47-story structure is planned to become New York’s first zero-carbon emission skyscraper and will yield 1.1 million square feet of office space. The property is bounded by West 36th to the north, West 35th Street to the south, and Hudson Boulevard East to the west.
The foundation slab and portions of the perimeter walls have been formed below street level since our last update, shortly after crews broke ground on June 12. A dense assembly of rebar has been assembled for the forthcoming central core, while a team of excavators and construction machines continues to work on the northern and western sides of the lot. YIMBY expects foundations to reach street level by spring.

The rendering in the main photo from the construction board is the most current iteration of the design, reflecting some minor changes from the previous version below. The skyscraper will retain its overall scheme of floor-to-ceiling glass framed by bronze-hued mullions, but the loggias below the crown will be consolidated into a square three-by-three grid on the western elevation. The previous concept depicted these cutout terraces wrapping around the northern and southern sides and adorned with extensive greenery.

The podium features a tighter grid of floor-to-ceiling windows set behind an assembly of bronze mullions and a tall cutout in the base with angled stone paneling around the entrance. Ground-floor retail space and new tree-lined sidewalks will flank the doorway.

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, conferencing and wellness spaces, a media-podcast studio, and “red-eye” suites for employees. The ground floor will include dining and retail.
Deloitte plans to occupy 800,000 square feet and serve as the skyscraper’s anchor tenant, 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 at Bella Abzug Park to the east.
70 Hudson Yards’ anticipated completion date is slated for fall 2028, as noted on site.

Isn’t there an oversupply of office space? Isnt AI eliminating jobs? Makes no sense..
Class A office space – aka Hudson Yards quality – is still in demand supposedly
class A office demand is still extremely high, it’s the class B and C office market that’t not doing well
You did read the bit about 800K sq.ft. of the total 1.1M total, is already spoken for. So clearly not.
To people who don’t understand the dynamics of Manhattan real estate it doesn’t. Your 3 years behind, pal
RP, then explain why Jamie Dimon decided to build 270 Park Avenue, or Ken Griffin wanting to construct a new office tower for Citadel at 350 Park Avenue, or Gary Barnett currently building 570 Fifth Avenue
You brainless rage-baiting brat 🤡
Dimon the famous banker tied to Epstein and clearly got away with money laundering simply by paying a penalty and signing a on guilty agreement who makes $39 million a year 1.5 in salary to escape taxation the rest in stock options.
In five to seven years as AI takes over I guarantee a complete collapse for these investors. Dimon got tax breaks and decided it was time to stop paying rent. Chase will be competing directly with AI in 7 years. As all assets become digital. Two to three day work weeks coming . This space is just not needed for office space in the near future. As AI takes over look for consumption to decline not increase. Get prepared society will be like a sci fi experiment in 7 years.
Ugh, more look-a-like dullery for Hudson Yards.
At least it’s not 100% blue glass. Can architects and developers please oh please get blue glass out of their system and return to textured, rich designs?
Excited to see the cityscape of Hudson Yards extend north one block. Also glad to see some bronze accents will soon break up all the blue glass.
I agree. I like the change in color and facade materials than the rest of Hudson Yards.
It’s the excitement of a corporate existence that leads nowhere but repetition of nothingness. You to can live near a fallacy of corporate existence. When you wake up in this sphere look for corporate names that make you feel whole. lol
Bronze-hued mullions and blue glass seems to be the ‘look du jour’ throughout the city..
WOW! A box.
The podium seems too fussy for the tower. Either are attractive by themselves. There was a very short health craze in 1877 when exposure to light passing through blue glass windows was imagined to cure all sorts of maladies.
The numbering is triggering my OCD:
10 Hudson Yards, then 30 HY (with observation deck), then 50 HY, then The Sprial (which by all logic should/could have been 70 HY), and now comes 70 HY (shoulda/coulda been 90 HY). Why?
Deloitte has been hit hard by a US government crackdown on consulting contracts, with at least 129 contracts terminated or cut back – more than double any other affected consultancy. The Big Four firm has opted for layoffs in response to the contract cull.
The hit to Deloitte contracts was unveiled in data released by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), though much of that data has repeatedly been put into question. Last month, Doge appeared to have overstated the amount of money they had supposedly saved the government by billions of dollars
Remember now they need this overpriced space.,lol
what does this comment have to do with YES BUILD IN MY BACK YARD site?
feed your TDS?
The 7 train has become the backbone of NYC’s new development, linking Hudson Yards, Times Square, Grand Central, Long Island City, and the Hard Rock casino and NYCFC’s Etihad Park soccer stadium along one direct line.
