Fifty Hudson Yards achieves all of this and more.”įeaturing a facade of glass and hand-carved Italian marble, Foster + Partners’ boxy tower fits comfortably into the dizzying vertical landscape of Hudson Yards dotted with office and residential towers designed by the likes of KPF, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and SOM. Oxford president Michael Turner added: “The purpose of the office has changed, and today the world’s best workplaces are an experience that inspire employees, aids learning and mentorship and act as an extension of a company’s brand.

“Designed as multiple buildings within a building, Fifty Hudson Yards combines the rarified service of a boutique luxury office building with vast, column-free floorplates, high ceilings and sweeping skyline and river views, for an employee experience unlike any other,” reads a press release. “With some of the biggest investors in the world leasing space in this building, these business leaders are sending a clear message that they have confidence in the future of our city and want to expand their footprint in the greatest city in the world.”ĭespite the obvious enthusiasm of the city, Hudson Yards, and executives to get bodies back into the office in a big way, this ardor isn’t exactly embraced across the board by workers themselves, many of whom have become accustomed to the flexibility and comfort afforded by pandemic-spurred remote and hybrid work models.ĭespite hesitance from some workers to return to the office on a full-time basis, the 50 Yards development team appears confident that the building’s unique design, focus on wellness and sustainability (it’s targeting LEED Gold), and, of course, myriad luxe amenities will serve as a sweetener. “The opening of Fifty Hudson Yards marks another major milestone in New York City’s continued economic recovery,” added New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was on hand last week to celebrate the building’s formal opening.
“Fifty Hudson Yards’ growing tenant base of industry leaders reinforces that the office is back and better than ever,” said Related CEO Jeff T. Additional dining destinations at 50 Hudson Yards will be announced in the coming months. On the retail/restaurant front, longtime Lower East Side Jewish appetizing staple Russ & Daughters is set to bring bagels, bialys, and babka to a new 4,500-square-foot Hudson Yards outpost opening in spring 2023. Given its status as a Very Large Office Building, 50 Hudson Yards is being touted by primary developers Related Companies and Oxford Properties (like with 55 Hudson Yards, Mitsui Fudosan is a majority stakeholder) as a “symbol of the city’s office resurgence” that’s opening “intensifies the return to work.” Eighty-four percent leased at pre-opening, major tenants set to move into 50 Hudson Yards in the coming weeks and months include anchor tenant BlackRock along with Facebook parent company Meta, Vista Equity Partners, Truist Financial, ServiceNow, Passkey and XTX Markets. The two buildings straddle Hudson Park and Boulevard on northern end of the nascent neighborhood on Midtown’s far-western fringes. Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and Roche-Dinkeloo’s neighboring 55 Hudson Yards, another sleek office tower completed in 2019, is the other.
While very much part of Hudson Yards, the new office tower, which broke ground in 2018 and was completed on schedule, is one of two major structures realized in the first phase of the development not to be constructed on a platform hoisted above the West Side Yard.
