Façade work is coming to a close on The Spiral, a 66-story commercial supertall at 66 Hudson Boulevard in Hudson Yards. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Tishman Speyer, the 1,041-foot-tall skyscraper will yield 2.85 million square feet of office space and is expected to cost nearly $3.7 billion. Turner Construction Company is the general contractor, Banker Steel provided the steel work, and Permasteelisa is serving as the contractor for the glass enclosure for The Spiral, which occupies a full city block between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and 34th and 35th Streets.
Since our last construction update in March, the floor-to-ceiling glass panels have filled in the gap on the southern elevation where the construction elevator was formerly attached. The secondary elevator remains fixed to the northern face of the tower for the time being. More glass installation has also progressed around the podium.

The following photos show the progress on the lower levels. A ribbon of rectangular glass panels wraps around all four sides, between the clearer ground-floor glass and reflective glass on the second story. The six-story full-block podium will feature a lobby with ceiling heights up to 28 feet and entrances along Hudson Boulevard East and Tenth Avenue, as well as 18,000 square feet of retail space.

Disappointingly underwhelming…
Looks more like steps than a spiral.
Like an 8-bit Atari spiral. 🤖
“Nothing to see here folks, keep moving”!😔
Hope the planting on those terraces brings it to life a bit because right now this is a BIG miss. So disappointing.
How effectively the ‘spiral’ section is lit, will make a big difference.
Hopefully the Vessel will re open some day, otherwise it is a huge eyesore.
Unlikely the vessel re opens ever again
