Next to join Hudson Yards' platoon of shiny skyscrapers is 50 Hudson Yards, an enormous 2.9-million-gross-square-foot office tower set to open in 2022. Developed by Mitsui Fudosan America with Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, the project has nailed the prestigious asset manager BlackRock as its anchor tenant, which signed on for 850,000 square feet of space inside the building. According to the developers, the $4 billion project will become the city's fourth largest commercial office building, with floorplates measuring up to 80,000 square feet. The site replaces Coach's former headquarter building and covers half a full Manhattan block (half the typical block) from Tenth Avenue, Hudson Boulevard, West 33rd, and 34th Streets.

When compared to its sister towers at 10 and 30 Hudson Yards, 50 Hudson Yards' design by Foster + Partners is fairly prosaic, resembling a humongous filing cabinet of sorts. However, new images of the curtain wall mock-up via New Hudson Facades show it will flaunt a high-quality skin of light- and dark-toned marble framing tinted glass windows. The 1,011-foot-tall project will be Foster + Partners' fourth office tower design in Manhattan following Hearst Tower, a still-in-limbo design for Two World Trade Center, and 425 Park Avenue, which topped out construction earlier this season.

Foundation is still ongoing with the structural frame to rise in 2019

According to its fact sheet, 50 Hudson Yards will stand 58 floors and 1,011 feet tall, a height that will make it the eighth-tallest office building in the city. The building will aim for LEED Gold certification, and tenants will be treated to outdoor terraces, private sky lobbies, and a direct connection to the 7 subway line.
