Vertical progress is underway on 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.
Work on the foundations concluded since our last update in mid-February, when the tower crane was just beginning to be erected on site. A large assembly of scaffolding has been assembled around the western corner of the site, while the first sections of the reinforced concrete core walls are visible, surrounded by yellow form work. Crews were also spotted pouring concrete around the rear eastern end of the property.

The aerial rendering in the main photo shows the skyscraper clad in a sleek floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall with a large-scale grid of thin bronze-hued paneling. 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.
The total square footage was recently increased by 300,000 square feet as a result of the developer’s contribution to the HY District Improvement Fund and acquisition of air rights.
Deloitte is planning to occupy around 800,000 square feet and serve 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 ground-up development is the local 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.

Does anyone know if this will be a steel building, a concrete building, or concrete core with a steel outer-shell building
It’s a commercial building, so that’s typically concrete elevator core construction with steel outer framing. A residential tower is generally all concrete construction.
