What Makes The Spiral Special?
The most exciting part of The Spiral is its outdoor gardens. Each floor has its own green space that wraps around the building. This design helps bring nature into the city. It also gives people working there a nice place to relax outside.
History of The Spiral
The idea for this building started in 2014. Back then, it was called the Hudson Spire. It was planned to be even taller, possibly the tallest building in the United States.
In 2016, new pictures of the building were shared. These showed the 1,041 foot (317 m) tower with its "cascading series of landscaped terraces and hanging gardens." This means the gardens look like they are flowing down the building.
Who Will Be in The Spiral?
Many companies will have offices in The Spiral once it is finished. In 2017, a big medicine company called Pfizer said they would move their main office there. They will use floors 7 through 21.
In April 2018, Pfizer officially agreed to rent the space for 20 years. Another company, Blackstone, helped with the money needed to build it. They gave a very large loan of $1.8 billion.
