3 Hudson Boulevard (previously known asGiraSole ) is a proposedskyscraper along theHudson Park and Boulevard in theHudson Yards andHell's Kitchen neighborhoods ofManhattan ,New York City , United States. Construction on the skyscraper is in progress, but has currently been paused. The project's developer isJoseph Moinian .[ 2] [ 3]
History and development [ edit ] FXCollaborative (formerly FXFowle) designed the building,[ 4] [ 5] which is planned to have 2 million square feet (190,000 m2 ).[ 5] There will be 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2 ) on each of the lower stories and 30,000 to 37,000 square feet (2,800 to 3,400 m2 ) on each of the upper stories..[ 4]
Construction was supposed to begin in 2015,[ 6] with the building's completion planned for 2017.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] The building, directly acrossEleventh Avenue from theJacob K. Javits Convention Center , would abut the secondary entrance to the new34th Street – Hudson Yards subway station, built as part of theNew York City Subway 's7 Subway Extension project.[ 9] [ 10] Consequently, the foundation was built by theMetropolitan Transportation Authority because the subway station is directly underneath; the rest of the building would be built by Moinian Group.[ 11] The foundation works started May 2016.[ 12]
On June 26, 2014, Joseph Moinian secured a loan for the construction of the building.[ 9] Agroundbreaking ceremony for 3 Hudson Boulevard occurred in November 2017,[ 13] [ 14] at which point the planned building's height was reduced to 940 feet (290 m).[ 15] In addition, Joseph Moinian sought $3 billion in debt and equity to fund the tower.[ 16] [ 17] In 2018, Boston Properties (laterBXP, Inc. ) became a partner in 3 Hudson Boulevard's development,[ 4] giving Moinian an $80 million loan to help finance the construction.[ 18] [ 19] By 2020, the building was planned to cost $2.58 billion.[ 20]
In an interview withCommercial Observer , Ted Koltis of The Moinian Group said the firm had begun "speculative" construction of the project in early 2022.[ 21] However, in late 2022New York YIMBY reported that construction on the building was on hold.[ 22] BXP's loan on the building hadmatured by January 2025, prompting BXP and Moinian to seek another construction loan.[ 18] [ 19]
The developers of the building are hoping to get aLEED Platinum certification for the building when it is completed, owing to its eco-friendly design.[ 6] "Green" strategies include wind harvesting,rooftop farming ,heat recovery , solar shading,photovoltaic electricity , regenerativeelevators ,Energy Star -efficient appliances, ice storage, andnatural lighting .[ 6] [ 10]
