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 2015,[4] with the building's completion planned for 2017.[4][5][6] 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.[7][8] Consequently, the foundation was built by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority because the subway station is directly underneath; the rest of the building would be built by Moinian Group.[9] The foundation works started May 2016.[10]
On June 26, 2014, Joseph Moinian secured a loan for the construction of the building.[7] A groundbreaking ceremony for 3 Hudson Boulevard occurred in November 2017,[11][12] at which point the planned building's height was reduced to 940 feet (290 m).[13] In addition, Joseph Moinian sought $3 billion in debt and equity to fund the tower.[14][15]
In an interview with Commercial Observer, Ted Koltis of The Moinian Group said the firm had begun "speculative" construction of the project in early 2022.[16] However, in late 2022 New York YIMBY reported that construction on the building was on hold.[17]
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.[4] "Green" strategies include wind harvesting, rooftop farming, heat recovery, solar shading, photovoltaic electricity, regenerative elevators, Energy Star-efficient appliances, ice storage, and natural lighting.[4][8]
