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 following photos show the tower crane arriving on site yesterday in preparation for the start of vertical construction. YIMBY expects work to reach street level this spring.

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.

Is it 832 feet, or 717 feet?
It says 832.
The no.17 tallest building in the year end countdown here, listed this building as 717 feet..did it suddenly gain 100+ feet?
Related website saying 717 feet
Is it going to be a steel structure building or a concrete building
Those Deloitte employees are really going to miss the subway convenience and neighborhood options of 30 Rock.
The Spiral is quite a letdown. Where are all the skyplants?
Why have a architect of houses design what appears to be an entirely ordinary skyscraper?
In addition to these wonderful photos, could we also see a map showing its location and neighbors, including their identities?
Google does that.
Totally agree
Looking forward to seeing the Hudson Yards cluster grow one block north with a substantial skyscraper. Love the crown, which appears to have changed a bit(?) since the last update. Also love the bronze accents which will stand out amongst the sea of blue glass in HY.
Nice to read that it’s gained 300,000 sqft and will now exceed 800′. Not sure why everyone else is so negative.
Well I guess it’s far better than preparing for diagonal construction
…..like some buildings along the High Line,
whose arichitects seemed to be a bit high when planning them
Seems like this should be addressed “90” Hudson Yards—10, 30, 50, The Spiral (which by all logic occupies the “70” spot), then this misnomer-in-waiting!
Great point!
Remember when HY was supposed to be for affordable housing…
when was that mooch? fyi – there is affordable housing in the condo buildings.
this is an office building- you know, where people work, go to lunch, get their shoes signed (creating an economy) pay taxes
affordable housing in NYC means subsidized, by other New York taxpayers.
The sense of entitlement knows no bounds
Anyone know if it’s going to be a steel building or a concrete building
I hope it’s all union or…
