The Spiral is a 65-floor skyscraper under construction in the Hudson Yards, Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. The project was announced in 2016 by real estate developer Tishman Speyer as a 1,005 foot skyscraper with 2.85 million square feet and 65 floors.[1] The tower is being designed by Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group, which also designed the nearby West 57.

The Spiral will be located on 34th Street between Hudson Boulevard and Tenth Avenue. When completed, The Spiral will join other developments made possible by rezoning, including Hudson Yards, 3 Hudson Boulevard and Manhattan West. A distinguishing feature of the proposed building is that each floor will have outdoor gardens that will spiral around the building.

History

The tower was initially conceptualized in 2014 as the Hudson Spire, with a 1,800 feet (550 m) roof height a 2,000 feet (610 m) architectural height. It was marketed as the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere.[2]

In late 2015, Tishman Speyer paid $25 million to two men who refused to move from their apartment at 10th Avenue and West 34th Street, the future site of the Spiral. In exchange, the men agreed to leave the premises and moved to another building. 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.[3]

New renderings released in 2016 show a 1,005 foot tower lined with a "cascading series of landscaped terraces and hanging gardens."[4] In August 27, 2017, pharmaceutical firm Pfizer announced plans to occupy 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) in the new building.[5]
