As of June 2022, the facade was being completed. The company officially signed a 20-year lease in April 2018, in conjunction with Blackstone providing a $1.8 billion construction loan, one of the largest such loans in New York City history. New renderings released in 2016 show a 1,031-foot (314 m) with a "cascading series of landscaped terraces and hanging gardens." On August 27, 2017, pharmaceutical firm Pfizer announced plans to move the company's world headquarters into 800,000 square feet (74,000 m 2) in the new building, taking up floors 7 through 21. The developer had spent $438 million on the property and its surrounding area, but despite a court order in Tishman Speyer's favor, the pair had remained until the payout was awarded. In late 2015, Tishman Speyer paid $25 million to two men who had refused to move from their apartment at 10th Avenue and 34th Street, the future site of the Spiral. It was marketed as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The tower was initially conceptualized in 2014 as the Hudson Spire, with a 1,800-foot (550 m) roof height a 2,000-foot (610 m) architectural height. A distinguishing feature of the building is that each floor will have outdoor gardens that will spiral around the building. When completed, The Spiral will join other developments made possible by rezoning, including Hudson Yards, 3 Hudson Boulevard and Manhattan West. The Spiral will be located on 34th Street between Hudson Boulevard and Tenth Avenue. The tower is being designed by Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group, which also designed the nearby West 57. The project was announced in 2016 by real estate developer Tishman Speyer as a 1,031-foot (314 m) skyscraper with 2.85 million square feet (265,000 m 2) and 66 floors. The Spiral, also known as 66 Hudson Boulevard, is a 66-floor skyscraper in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City. The silhouette of THE SPIRAL resonates with the iconic architecture of Rockefeller Center while its modern materials and detailing place it at the forefront of contemporary high-rise design on a path to become a future classic on the Manhattan skyline.The Spiral under construction in September 2021Ĥ0☄5′17″N 73★9′59″W / 40.754801°N 73.999835°W / 40.754801 -73.999835 The stepping form of THE SPIRAL echoes the architecture of New York City’s classic stepped setback skyscrapers and is the natural evolutionary step in the Tishman Speyer portfolio. THE SPIRAL sets a new standard for the contemporary workplace, where nature becomes an integrated part of the work environment while spatial features are continuously adaptable to the changing needs of the tenants and their organizations. These spaces connect multiple levels in the building, offering an alternative to elevators to encourage physical activity and interaction amongst colleagues. Inside, every terrace becomes a double height atrium with impressive views over Manhattan, offering a more informal setting for meetings, events and recreational activities. This creates unique floor configurations that will cater to a diverse community of tenants making the building a lively place for businesses of different scales – giving tenants a stake in the buildings iconic skyline presence. The spiral wraps around the tower, which becomes gradually slimmer towards the top. The chain of amenity spaces and terraces originates at THE SPIRAL’s main entrance on 34th street and Hudson Boulevard. The 1,005 ft high-rise is a unique hybrid that intertwines a continuous green pathway with workspaces on every level. Located at the intersection of the High Line and the newly developed Hudson Boulevard Park on Manhattan’s new western frontier, THE SPIRAL extends the green space of the former train tracks in a spiraling motion towards the sky – from High Line to the skyline. The next step is to start designing the model, which will likely be made up of numerous stacks of floor plates, each with different dimensions as the spiral pattern slowly diminishes the overall footprint. As a trained architect, plan and section drawings always help me better visualize the dimensions and massing of the overall building.
