3 Hudson Boulevard's Sky Club, Possible Condos Revealed




We knew that the 1,000-foot skyscraper called 3 Hudson Boulevard, planned for Eleventh Avenue between 34th and 35th streets, was going to be glassy, twisty, and super-dee-duper green. After an announcement today, we've got more renderings (!), plus we know it'll cost $800-900 million to build, that commercial tenants on the lower floors will be asked to pay $85/square foot to lease the space, that six-story high LED screens on two sides will flash occupants' branding or art installations at the street level, and that the roof will hold a two-floor "sky club" complete with swimming pool, greenery and foliage, terraces, event spaces, meeting rooms, and areas for dining, drinking, and lounging. Most importantly (to us at least), the Moinian Group's 3 Hudson Boulevard could pose a bit of friendly competition to big-name sky-high residential properties like One57 and 432 Park—because condos are slated to occupy 300,000 square feet on floors 49 through 63, with a dedicated elevator bank and other amenities and unit sizes TBD. Be warned: if an eager company is willing to plunk down a bunch of dough for more office space, then the condos might not happen.

It's all designed by Dan Kaplan of FXFOWLE, the architecture firm behind West 15th Street's 35XV, which is also glassy and tapered and full of condos... but quite a bit shorter. The building is aiming for a LEED Platinum certification, the highest rating in the buzzing orbit of green construction. Construction is estimated to start late next year or in 2015, with a move-in date of 2017.

NY doesn't need shit to compare to Dubai, and it ain't no freaking "mid-rise city." Not even counting spires, by 2012, NY will have over 25 buildings with roofs over 800'. Without the WTC and all these planned supertalls, anyone with a brain will tell you that it is of a better quality and much more dense. Just because no buildings with a roof over 1,600' are in view doesn't mean it won't happen.

Notice how this project came from no where.

Don't think it actually ever stopped shining (even during the '29 crisis new york built wonderful skyscrapers (like the rockfeller complex).

I think this building is actually a great addition, it has that simple design but very futuristic without the excessive use of glass, similar in a way to the new york times building.
I love it, and it wont be an isolated tower (looking at the great projects that are planned).
Great New York, this was really a nice surprise!:)

Sorry but... It's just OK. The inside will be wonderful, no doubt, but the exterior design would need a bit more extravagance.
Plus, two (nice-ish) boxes right next to each other will look a bit too stocky.
What makes a skyline great is indeed high and density, but shape and height differences (hell!!... even spires sometimes...) are healthy for the general look. And even more importantly, a cetain amount of space between the most predominant buildings of a city only helps them to come out even better.

Look at Dubai (at the moment and apart from Burj Dubai) and compare it to say... Frankfurt. A huge skyline with a quasi-continuous 300 meter roof is not better than smaller (still big though) but better 'organised' buldings.
It's my opinion only. But Chicago is close to perfection due to the reasons explained above.

So yeah! Go for the big boxy green one NY, but careful not to just create a cluttered glass wall just for the sake of it.
Hopefully, the rest of the Hudson Yard development will help to bring some harmony into what's heading for a rushed pack of common-looking buildings.

^^ That is how NYC does it. If you want buildings seperated by parks or plazas and not right next to eachother, then you can keep loving your Dubai way of building things. NYC has been building like this for decades and it will still do it like that. They want to use as much space as possible and not waste any square feet. I love these type of skyscrapers canyons that it creates in the city. :cheers:

Both of these towers will be actually seperated by a green boulevard...



One is on Site 1 facing 10th Ave and the GiraSole tower will be facing 11th Ave.

Exactly, and that was/is the only true purpose of a skyscraper, it is used to max office or any other space and not for height and design boasting buildings sitting in the middle of nowhere. In this regard NYC is the definite winner !

We're a mid-size city now, eh? That's the illusion that people get when they see n.y but actually many buildings are taller than those in many cities. It's just that when you have too many of the same tall buildngs cluttered together, none stand out! Again, I hope the new projects on the far west side have more interesting designs than this one...

Yeah, the people saying that kind of stuff obviously have never been to New York City, and also seem to be forgetting the destruction of 2 of the city's super talls.

This project is impressive, but after the virtual cancellation of the MSG towers I'm a bit reticent about getting excited over this, but hopefully it will go ahead. The glass box is getting a bit ubiquitous, but done competently, and given a sufficiently monumental site (as this has- few neighbours of similar hight) they have a great elegance.
