The Spiral
RAEL is in the process of installing the fire sprinkler system at The Spiral, also known as 66 Hudson Boulevard, a 66-floor skyscraper under construction in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City. “The project was announced in 2016 by real estate developer Tishman Speyer as a 1,041-foot skyscraper with 2.85 million square feet and 66 floors. The tower was designed by Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group. A distinguishing feature of the proposed building is that each floor will have outdoor gardens that will spiral around the building.” – Wikipedia

The Spiral
“The Spiral’s form takes inspiration from the classic Manhattan step-back as it tapers vertically with green spaces circling from base to top. The terraces will provide each floor with outdoor space and multi-floor atria for dynamic work space or unique meeting areas. Center-core open floor plans will allow for flexible configurations, while soaring ceilings and virtually column-free floor plates will provide unobstructed city and river views.” – Tishman Speyer

The Spiral
“Located on Hudson Boulevard at the northern tip of the High Line elevated park, The Spiral occupies an entire city block between 34th and 35th Streets at the heart of Hudson Yards. The tower’s 30-foot-tall lobby will front Hudson Boulevard Park, further extending access to urban green space and offering ground-floor retail offering.” – Tishman Speyer

The Spiral
“Directly facing The Spiral’s entrance is access to the newly extended 7 Train, providing an easy commute to Grand Central Terminal and the rest of Manhattan. The tower is in close proximity to the city’s most convenient transportation hubs, including the Port Authority, Penn Station, the Lincoln Tunnel and the West Side Highway, allowing for easy access to all five boroughs and the tristate area.” – Tishman Speyer

The Spiral
“The Spiral draws its sustainable and landscaped inspiration from the acres of newly developed green space adjacent to it, including the final phase of the High Line and the 550-acre Hudson River Park, with its miles of bike and jogging paths. With a similar focus on sustainability and green construction, The Spiral is targeting LEED certification.” – Tishman Speye
