Supertall Hudson Yards Tower Gets New Renderings & Tenant
KKR to Buy Offices at Hudson Yards, Relocate From Plaza District
KKR & Co., the buyout firm that rose to prominence in the 1980s when it paid more than $31 billion for RJR Nabisco, agreed to buy about 343,000 square feet of office space at 30 Hudson Yards
Thirty Hudson, a 1,296-foot (395-meter) tower that will feature the city’s highest public observatory, is being built over what is known as the “throat” of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority train yard, where trains enter and leave the parking area. It requires the thickest steel bracing of the platform over which Related is building most of the project.
The tower will offer KKR its own private elevator bank, river-to-river panoramic views and an outdoor terrace, according to the statement. Blau said the company will have access to space in the observatory it can use for private events.
Both 10 and 30 Hudson Yards are approaching full occupancy, Blau said.
