I hope phase 2 has more variety of buildings in both height and shape, but we'll see.

Unfortunately, these buildings are designed promarily for the market, which was a gift thanks to the large zoning lots created by city planning. “Square” is what you are going to get, because that’s what large tenants want. It’s why these buildings are filling. That being said, they are buildings that will have the best of amenities and everthing a tenant could want. I look at these buildings every day, and they’re no treat for the skyline (too similar in height). But they are exactly what the city intended.

It's half-finished. Less than half-finished, really. I think it's premature to clown on Hudson Yards. There are good aspects to it as a planned development. It'll be a lot better when they cap over the remaining tracks and surround all those blue glass boxes with more interesting and diverse residential towers.

afaik that is still the plan. whenever that happens. there is some pressure though, because that is where they really make their money. unfortunately it was already delayed pre-corona, but the costs of materials these days and the sheeple fleeing the city can’t be helping.

You would be wildly incorrect in that assumption.

Then I'll assume you don't what the word ugly means then. There are very run down parts of the city. Not a single building in Hudson Yards would even be in the top 2000 ugliest buildings in the city.

Then again it's all subjective, so if you want to believe that whatever. I'll just have to disagree.

Chefs Behind Llama Inn Opening New Restaurant at The Spiral






BY CELIA YOUNG
JUNE 27, 2022


Quote:
The duo behind the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Peruvian restaurant Llama Inn are cooking up a new 6,000-square-foot eatery at Tishman Speyer’s 66 Hudson Boulevard, known as The Spiral.

Chefs Erik Ramirez and Juan Correa plan to open their new restaurant after the 65-story building wraps up construction at the end of this year, Tishman Speyer announced Monday. The yet-unnamed eatery will have a similar flavor and feeling to the duo’s other two spots: Llama Inn, which opened in 2015 at 50 Withers Street, and Llama San in the West Village.
Quote:
The landlord did not immediately respond to questions about the terms of the deal or the brokers. The New York Post reported last year that asking rents in the tower range from about $110 per square foot at the bottom of the BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group-designed building to more than $225 per square foot at the top.

Ramirez and Correa’s new restaurant at the base of the 1,031-foot tower in Hudson Yards will feature outdoor sidewalk seating and an indoor dining room covered with plants, according to the landlord. The announcement comes as the two chefs plan to open Llama Inn’s first international outpost in Madrid, Spain, this fall.
Quote:
The restaurant deal is yet another win for the 2.8 million-square-foot tower’s landlord, which recently snagged HSBC Bank as a tenant for its new 265,000-square-foot U.S. headquarters, and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s 75,000-square-foot outpatient center. The tower is more than 70 percent pre-leased, Commercial Observer reported.
