Yeah developers and the time tables that never are true. Half the towers would be built by now if they went as planned. But... in the real world, nothing ever goes as planned. But can't complain, at least they are rising and no apocalyptic recession is occurring presently.

At least this isn't the Port Authority. If they worked on the HY towers, I'd be 2050 by the time they all finished and 10x the cost.

Excavation is progressing.




The little guy is drilling deep small diameter holes so the big guy can crush the bedrock more easily.








You can see previously drilled Rotary Bored Piles filled with steel and concrete.

U.K. hedge fund finances a Hudson Yards residential tower

Amanda Fung
September 11, 2015

Quote:
A London-based hedge fund is financing a residential tower at Hudson Yards. The Children's Investment Fund, which has banked projects by other major developers, including Harry Macklowe and Larry Silverstein, is providing $850 million in construction financing for the condo portion of Related Cos.' 15 Hudson Yards, according to The Real Deal.

Construction on Related's mixed-use tower at 553 W. 30th St. will begin in February. It will have 285 market-rate condos and 106 affordable rentals. The affordable units will be financed through a loan provided by the New York State Housing Finance Agency via the 80/20 program.

I'm disappointed too. It made it so unique. Even still, I think the overall shape, with all its curves, will make it outstanding.

I love big new development - steel - concrete . .
But let's tell it like it is aficionados ! . .
patriotizzy - yes "disappointing" . . but - "all its curves" ? ? . .
Hardly . . They're cheap very meager curves . . a wishy-washy minuscule effort . .
the big Elizabeth Diller bombastic "Corset" rollout . . Gone !
It wasn't my favorite lavish proposal . . but it was complex . . it was ambitious.
15 HY design now has wimped out . . It's a vision of fainthearted timidity . . .

Same for most of the other washed out HY proposals . .
also the marshmallowy glass box placeholder designs of the Manhattan West towers . .
But for the solid KPF vision of the 10 & 30 HY towers complex at the center . .
HY's halfhearted overall aesthetic is monstrously irresolute mediocre expediency . .
millions & millions of square feet of it.
I can't wait to see this bodacious centerpiece they're talkin' about . .
promised to be more amazing than Paris's Eiffel Tower ! . .
Imagine it ! . . seriously . . But who cares ! - Right ? . .

Couldn't have said it better myself. I was looking forward to a lot of these towers, but they've been value engineered into mediocrity. Disappointing for such an ambitious project.

Goes to show that these foreign beauties they're building elsewhere are meant to be statements of power and vanity.That's just not how we do it in the States I guess...

I don't know what you people are talking about. These are still well designed towers that can stand with some of the best of what's going around elsewhere.

Everything won't be a Tower Verre, no, but these are still good designs for what is an AMAZING development. When I'm walking around here I get the sense that this must have been
what it was like when the original WTC went up decades ago. So much "new", and on such a large scale.

15, 35, and 30 Hudson...

This is going to be a fantastic development when finished. What's the point of a "power and vanity" building if you can't see it because of thick smog or dust?

Yes, some of them were value engineered but they are still great towers that other cities would love to have. You are looking at one of the greatest and largest developments in New York history. When completed, Hudson Yards area (including Manhattan West) will have more + 200m skyscrapers than London, Tokyo, San Francisco or any other city in the world. (except cities in China and Dubai).

This was supposed to be one of the first ones to rise, I was wondering what the delay was. Been very little news on this one despite its over 900' height.
