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 and 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.[4] In late 2015, Tishman Speyer paid $25 million to two men who lived in a four-story building on the site, 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.[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] Tishman Speyer sought to refinance the building in late 2024 with a $3 billion loan,[9][10] and in January 2025 was awarded a $2.85 billion fixed-rate loan with a five-year repayment period.[11]
