Isn’t this being built on-spec? Steel columns are being placed and the 1st columns are already there.
I think It’ll rise. Appears to be confidence in the market given the rise of on-spec towers being considered.

They’re calling this 3 Hudson Yards now? This tower is too much of a disappoint to be a part of Hudson Yards

Shame they didn’t use the original design with the spire. I mean, based on the renderings, it doesn’t look too too bad. But time will tell. I think 55 HY is the weakest of all the designs. 35 Hudson is the star of the show, and utter gem.

Still 3 Hudson as I understand it. Might of been the instagram users error, because even I have thought of this as 3 Hudson. Boulevard relative to the surrounding towers kinda throws one off considering the neighborhood its in. IMO, 3 Hudson sounds better from a marketing standpoint.

I get that the focus is on the client’s building but 35 HY looks so squished 
. Makes me not take it seriously.

3 Hudson Boulevard has big hands thats why. 
Reminds me of those renderings where they completely cut out an existing tower that will be complete in the future. Like Barnett dismissing Sterns super tall when marketing CPT.

God damn, they’re not so good at making renders. The perspective of the tower in the first image is shifted a bit and in the second render it looks like they made it above 30 Hudson Yards. Should’ve just hired me

The columns in that post have been in place for months. No news there. This site is in hibernation.
If Moinian and Boston were going ahead on spec they’d be putting out press releases announcing their confidence and how awesome their site is. But they’re not.

The loss of the original torqued design is of course disappointing, but silver lining: at least it’s inoffensive.
I see clean, simple filler buildings like this as the backdrop for more striking buildings like 10/30 and 35 HY. If every building in this cluster was trying to be the crown jewel, you’d have a goofy mess like the Dubai Marina (and like the Marina, this is a such prominent location that any eyesores will stand unobstructed for a hundred years).
Also, I may be in the minority, but I’m also glad they scrapped the spire. It didn’t fit that design, and struck me as such a petty “look look, I’m technically taller than the tallest building in the Yards!” gimmick.

A boring box. I’d expect nothing less from NYC

That’s utterly ridiculous considering what’s been built here in recent years.
Where are you from? Clearly, not NY.

Walpole, I’ve been on this NYC board for quite awhile: I have 1.4k likes, many of them from you
Have a bit of humor dude, the whole post is clearly tongue in cheek.
P.S. New York does build a lot of boxes.

Hudson Yards is gonna be yuuuuugeee!!!
30 Hudson Yards, 35 Hudson Yards, The Spiral, and 50 Hudson Yards will all be over 1,000 feet tall. More to come, I’m sure.
For perspective, New York went 8 years with just the ESB and Chrysler as 1,000 foot tall towers post 9/11.

A whole new crop of super talls rising. As the cranes go down for some, a whole new flower pot grows.

WTF happened to that supposed redesign with the micro-staggered setbacks?
Re: Thomas Koloski’s illustration from 22 days ago?
And whereTF did that nothing-happening blue glass monolith shown in Chris08876’s post from 22 hours ago come from?
This design process has been a bag of dropped marbles from the get.
