Description

It is expected to rise 53 floors and 987 feet (301 m) in height.[4] FXFOWLE Architects designed the building, which is planned to have 2 million square feet (190,000 m2) of real estate.

Construction was supposed to begin in mid-2014[1] or 2015,[2] with the building's completion planned for 2017.[1][2][7][8] Completion was rescheduled for 2021.[4] The building, directly across Eleventh Avenue from the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, would abut the secondary entrance to the new 34th Street – Hudson Yards subway station, built as part of the New York City Subway's 7 Subway Extension project.[1][9][10] Consequently, the foundation is being built by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, because the subway station is directly underneath; the rest of the building is being built by Moinian Group.[11] The foundation works started May 2016.[12] A groundbreaking ceremony was held November 3, 2017.[13]

On June 26, 2014, Joseph Moinian secured a loan for the construction of the building.[9]

The building's former name, Girasole, means sunflower in Italian.[14]

Energy efficiency

The developers of the building are hoping to get a LEED Platinum certification for the building when it is completed, owing to its eco-friendly design.[2] "Green" strategies include wind harvesting, rooftop farming, heat recovery, solar shading, photovoltaic electricity, regenerative elevators, Energy Star-efficient appliances, ice storage, and natural lighting.[2][15]

Floors

The top two floors are set aside for a conference center, or executive or cafeteria dining. The office building will also include 12,600 square feet (1,170 m2) of retail.[4]
