Related and Oxford Take 70 Hudson Yards Vertical With 1.4M SF Zero Carbon Office Tower Anchored by Deloitte

Key Points:

•  70 Hudson Yards is going vertical with 1.4M SF of office space across 52 stories
•  Developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the tower is targeting zero carbon emissions
•  Deloitte will anchor the project with 800K SF, consolidating from 30 Rockefeller Plaza

Vertical Construction Begins at Hudson Yards

Work is moving above grade at 70 Hudson Yards, a 52-story, 832-foot office tower rising along Hudson Boulevard East. The project is being developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, with design led by Roger Ferris + Partners and Gensler. Once complete, the building will deliver just under 1.4 million square feet of Class A office space, marking another major addition to the Hudson Yards skyline.

Deloitte Anchors 800K SF Commitment

The tower’s biggest validation comes from Deloitte, which plans to lease approximately 800,000 square feet. The move will consolidate its operations from 30 Rockefeller Plaza and includes an 8,000 square foot outdoor terrace. For landlords, this underscores a key trend. Trophy office assets in premier submarkets continue to attract blue-chip tenants seeking modern layouts, sustainability credentials, and amenity-rich environments.

Zero Carbon Ambition and Expanded Square Footage

70 Hudson Yards is positioned to become New York’s first zero-carbon emission skyscraper, a differentiator as tenants increasingly prioritize ESG commitments. The project’s total square footage increased by roughly 300,000 square feet after the developers contributed to the Hudson Yards District Improvement Fund and acquired additional air rights. Floor plates range from approximately 35,650 square feet at the podium to 26,667 square feet in the tower, sizes that appeal to both full building users and multi-floor tenants. Amenities will include conferencing space, wellness facilities, media studios, red eye suites, dining, and ground-floor retail.

A Vote of Confidence in Trophy Office

Despite ongoing challenges in older office stock across Manhattan, Hudson Yards continues to command institutional capital and tenant demand. The project’s scale, sustainability focus, and anchor tenancy reinforce a widening gap between commodity office buildings and best-in-class product. With completion slated for fall 2028 and direct access to the 7 train at Bella Abzug Park, 70 Hudson Yards represents a long-term bet on premium office in a flight to quality environment. For investors and landlords, the message is clear. In New York, top tier office with modern infrastructure and ESG positioning still wins.
