The building got its name as each floor has outdoor gardens that spiral around the facade of the building in a continuous green pathway. It was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, which also designed the nearby West 57. Space Copenhagen provided interior design services. The building includes a clubhouse and an open-air terrace with panoramic city views on the 66th floor, along with a lounge.[1] The building has an irrigation system provided by Bosch that is designed to save 4.5 million gallons of water per year compared to other systems.[1][2]
History
The tower was conceptualized in 2014 as the Hudson Spire, with a 1,800-foot (550 m) roof height a 2,000-foot (610 m) architectural height. It was marketed as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.[3]
Tishman Speyer spent $438 million acquiring the site for the property.[4]
In late 2015, Tishman Speyer paid $25 million to two men who lived together as tenants in a four-story building on the future site of the building to get them to relocate. While Tishman had prevailed in court, the tenants threatened to delay the development by five years via additional court cases.[4]
Plans for the building were filed in September 2016.[5]
In April 2018, a mortgage real estate investment trust managed by Blackstone Inc. provided a $1.8 billion construction loan, one of the largest such loans in New York City history.[6]
The building topped-out in January 2021.[7]
In March 2023, the building won the CoStar Impact Award for best commercial development in the New York City region.[8]
