70 Hudson Yards

70 Hudson Yards is a new high rise building north of Hudson Yards proper. As part of the new phase, 70 will be the first zero-carbon emission skyscraper in New York City, setting a new standard for sustainable, forward-looking design. The tower offers sweeping views and outdoor spaces of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline for its office tenants. A bronze grid envelops the tower, highlighted with a white band beneath it. On the lower floors of the building, the façade is held off three feet from the glassy exterior wall on a metal chassis, eroding the mass of the building as it lands on the ground. A limestone storefront meets the ground at the lobby entrance, inviting users to enter the ground and mezzanine amenity floors which will be filled with cafe and retail uses.
