70 Hudson Yards breaks ground on fully-electric tower

A new chapter has begun in the evolution of Hudson Yards. Last week, Related Companies and Oxford Properties officially broke ground on 70 Hudson Yards—a 47-story, 1.1-million-square-foot office tower set to become New York’s first zero-carbon emissions skyscraper.

Rising from 514 West 36th Street, the all-electric structure is designed by Roger Ferris + Partners with Gensler and will reach a height of 717 feet.

Office floors are planned at approximately 30,000 square feet each, with build-out costs projected at $200 per square foot. A full suite of tenant amenities includes wellness areas, conference and lounge spaces, a media and podcast studio, and “red-eye” rest suites for overnight work.

Deloitte will anchor the building, occupying 800,000 square feet and gaining exclusive access to a private 8,000-square-foot outdoor terrace. The firm’s move from 30 Rockefeller Plaza underscores a broader migration of major tenants to the west side. Completion is targeted for late 2028, further establishing Hudson Yards as a national model for sustainable, next-generation office development.
