I agree this would be a great location for Lauder. GM is too expensive and they are looking to cut costs and have been letting go a ton of employees lately. Not sure on the costs at HY but they have to be cheaper than GM?
I am tracking GM gets like near 100 dollars per SQFT, seems like HY will be more in the 75-80 range. Not exactly numbers, but almost anywhere would be cheaper than GM building.
Moinian Group founder Joseph Moinian’s planned 3 Hudson Boulevard tower is building a foundation that won’t be finished for another year. He insisted the site is “absolutely not for sale” when we asked him.
It’s fully entitled for nearly 2 million square feet of floor area and stands to benefit from a $65 million city tax exemption that can be passed on to tenants.
“But we get offers all the time,” Moinian laughed. However, although he said the tower would be less expensive to tenants than Related’s or Brookfield’s, he declined to say by how much. Neither Himmel nor Kanner would share rents or purchase prices, either.
Glad to here this, I really like this tower and its current design. It would be very sad for it to not happen. In my personal opinion I think this is the most exciting tower in the Hudson Yards district for now. But all the towers are great!
