Internationally known for their bold and forward-thinking designs, many of which incorporate an ample amount of greenery, Bjarke Ingels Group continues to expand its New York City portfolio with another highrise project, this time in the growing Hudson Yards district in Midtown Manhattan. Developed in partnership with Tishman Speyer Properties, the 306-metre tower will rise at 66 Hudson Boulevard, near the northern terminus of the High Line elevated park.
Consisting of 2.85 million square feet of space in a 65-storey building, The Spiral aims to host offices and a six-floor podium with 27,000 square feet of first-class retail. Its exterior features a spiralling staircase of generous open spaces. Every floor of the tower will have its own dedicated terrace to enjoy, allowing workers to engage in a more flexible and dynamic work environment. A large amenity deck located on the seventh floor provides a common area for tenants to mingle. Featuring virtually column-free interiors and expansive ceiling heights, city and river views will be available in the building, which will likely achieve LEED certification of some kind.
The nine-metre lobby fronting Hudson Boulevard Park puts further emphasis on greenery. Access to the recently extended 7 Train is only a few steps away, giving users a convenient connection to Grand Central Terminal and the rest of Manhattan's bustling neighbourhoods. The project will span an entire city block, from West 34th Street to West 35th Street and from 10th Avenue to Hudson Park.
The neighbourhood has been buzzing with activity since the enormous Hudson Yards Redevelopment began construction. Led by The Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group Inc. with a master plan by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the two-phase development will see a number of supertall towers boasting residential, office, hotel, and retail programs. The skyline-altering Hudson Yards scheme is being built above a rail yard at a staggering cost of $20 billion.
Since Bjarke Ingels Group established an office in New York, their developments have expanded in scope and ambition. As the triangular residential complex VIA 57 WEST finishes construction, two other major projects by the Danish firm have been proposed. Twisting twin towers at 76 11th Avenue would rise adjacent to the High Line, while the landmark 82-storey Two World Trade Center aims to bring stability and strength back to a storied site. Each of these projects have a distinct identity, carefully honed by their prestigious Manhattan boundaries.
