Hudson Yards's tallest residential tower is making progress

The residential tower that will eventually rise 1,000 feet once complete is making its upward ascent at 35 Hudson Yards. A set of construction photos captured by Flickr contributor NyConstructionPhoto shows that the mixed-used building is only about about eight stories above ground, and though its currently overshadowed by neighboring projects that are part of the Hudson Yards development boom, it is well on its way toward becoming the area’s tallest tower.

According to YIMBY, the David Childs and SOM-designed project will offer 137 condos on floors 31 through 70 that will average almost 3,600 square feet each. The 71-story building will be home to a host of businesses. Office space is scheduled to occupy floors eight through 13 while a 60,000-square-foot Equinox hotel with 217 rooms, pools , and fancy restaurants are slated for floors 15 through 29. Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group are the developers on record. Completion is anticipated for sometime in 2019.
