Construction is continuing to rise 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.
The majority of the podium levels were formed since our last update in late March, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had just begun to rise above street level. A dense network of scaffolding has been assembled to support the newly formed floor plates, walls, and columns as they settle. Orange netting covers the voids in the lower levels, and the main exterior hoist is steadily rising on the northern side of the building.

Massive steel girders have also been installed atop the podium. This framework is designed to transfer loads evenly down from the main tower through the base of the skyscraper.

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. The total square footage of the project was increased by 300,000 as a result of the developer’s contribution to the HY District Improvement Fund and acquisition of air rights.
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 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.

Steel transfer girders on top of the podium
Yes, thise transfer girders on top of the concrete base is a fascinating look..the article here keeps referring to the “main tower”..is there a secondary tower here? some additional renderings would be nice..
The main tower goes above the podium. They’re two separate parts of the building that need distinction. Otherwise, why are they installing those steel transfer trusses???
God, you’re so fucking dense and nitpicky for no reason and you know it…
I stand corrected..
Like anyone will believe you had that epiphany…

“New York’s first zero-carbon-emission skyscraper”
I’m pretty sure all the concrete, steel and glass trucked to the site involved nothing but carbon emissions. If the building is all electric, then that’s great.
I’d be so bummed if my office moved way out to Hudson Yards.
Lols “way out?” It is literally in the middle of everything. Minutes from West Side, Midtown, Chealsea, all the tech companies.
There’s literally a subway station at Hudson yards, Whole Foods Market at Manhattan West, tons of restaurants in the mall and around the buildings, and is a short walk to Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall.
You make it sound like you’re still stuck in 2010.
I thought the new building of Chase was the first zero carbon emission building
