The Spiral, New York
65 Inspirational Stories
Can a 60-story high skyscraper bring more green to New York City?
YES
Quote:
The New York City skyline is one of the most famous in the world. And it’s about to change with a new skyscraper illuminating the night sky: The Spiral, a premier office building featuring intelligent building technology, with Bosch subsidiary Climatec supplying its building management system.
Are we really talking about a skyscraper? We are – albeit a very special one. The towering building, which is currently under construction on the far west side of Midtown Manhattan, represents a new generation of skyscrapers. Developed by international real estate owner, operator and developer Tishman Speyer, The Spiral is a 65-story office building with a surface area of around 265,000 square meters (2.85 million square feet).
Its extraordinary interior and exterior architecture, its environmentally friendly design, and its smart technology mean The Spiral embodies the future of the sustainable, interconnected and comfortable workplace.
And this is exactly how Bosch’s subsidiary Climatec has played a major role.

Higher comfort due to gardens in the skies
Soaring around 300 meters (1,031 feet) high, The Spiral will be the latest and one of the most iconic super-tall office buildings in New York.
The name of the skyscraper is, of course, no accident. The architects from the BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and Tishman Speyer drew inspiration from Manhattan’s classic ‘step-back architecture’ when planning the structure.
The Spiral will feature a cascading series of landscaped terraces and hanging gardens as its signature element. The terraces will ascend, one per office floor, in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green pathway that wraps around the façade of the tower.
The design ensures that each tenant on every office floor will have plenty of space to take a breather and share their ideas outdoors on the terraces located on each floor. The hanging gardens, which form a helix around the building are still visible from far away, make The Spiral even greener.
The focus of the interior design encourages communication and working in comfort. The open-plan offices allow future tenants to use the space available the way they require, and offer plenty of room for meetings and similar spaces.“

Climatec’s technology plays a major role in the inner workings of The Spiral. Its system integration and building automation experts are equipping The Spiral with a central, high-end building automation system that is, in a sense, the beating heart of the skyscraper. This system allows all the different components to be integrated and managed, including building comfort and security solutions. For example, a building operator can configure systems individually or create impact across several systems at once, including optimizing energy performance or tenant access needs.
Moreover, the Climatec solution also helps look after all the greenery that flanks The Spiral. It monitors the building’s irrigation system, which ensures the plants receive the right amount of water at the right times.
The lighting and energy management systems can also be integrated into the automation system. The latter enables Tishman Speyer to monitor the total energy consumed in the building and ensure the CO2 emissions adhered to guidelines enacted by the City of New York.
