History

edit

The project was presented to the public for the first time in summer 2011. The tower is a part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, and is located at 11th Avenue and West 33rd Street.[9][10] The building design was changed from a cylindrical to a rectangular prismatic shape in December 2013.[11]

The construction of 35 Hudson Yards began in 2015 and was completed in 2019.[9][10] A building permit application was filed in January 2015.[12] In July 2016, the project received $1.2 billion in construction financing from UK hedge fund The Children's Investment Fund Management.[13] 35 Hudson Yards topped out in June 2018.[14]

The building opened on March 15, 2019.[15][16] The hotel opened in June.[17] Bloomberg reported in August 2022 that Related was considering a sale of the hotel.[18]

The Wall Street Journal reported in July 2023 that as many as 50% of the condos in 35 Hudson Yards remained unsold.[19]

Architecture and design

edit

The building was designed by David Childs of the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which also provided structural engineering services. Jaros, Baum & Bolles was the MEP engineer, and Langan was the geotechnical engineer. Tishman Construction, a wholly owned subsidiary of AECOM, was general contractor.[8]

Originally featured as a 900-foot (270 m) tower with setbacks at various intervals, the building was redesigned in early December 2013 to feature a cylindrical "tube." The redesign increased the height of the tower to approximately 1,000 feet (300 m).[11][12] Interiors were designed by Ingrao with Eucalyptus cabinetry and Quartzite countertops.[20]

The tower was designed as a residential and a hotel tower.[21] 35 Hudson Yards contains 11 floors dedicated to hotel space along with a sky lobby, a ballroom and a spa.[10][22] A plaza is located at the foot of the tower and the tower also contains medical offices.[23]

The first floor serves as the building's lobby. The lobby contains Flowers, a tapestry by Swedish artist Helena Hernmarck.[24] Retail is on levels 2, 4, and 5 and will consist of an outpost of the Hospital for Special Surgery focused on physical therapy and a SoulCycle.[25] Six floors of office space starts from level 8 that serve as the new headquarters for Related's subsidiary Equinox Fitness.[20] The hotel, also managed by Equinox, has 212 rooms (including 48 suites) across levels 24 through 38.[17] Levels 3, 6, and 7 are home to a 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) gym and spa also operated by Equinox. The upper 36 floors contain 135 condominiums.[12] Building amenities include a gym, yoga studio, meditation room, a lounge, and a golf-simulator.[20] In August 2019, a new restaurant, Electric Lemon, opened on the 24th floor.[26]
