BIG Completes Award-Winning The Spiral Tower in Manhattan
Recently crowned the “Best Tall Building” in its category worldwide during The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s annual conference, The Spiral boasts a remarkable feature that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding environment. It visually extends the adjacent High Line Park landscape, creating a visual connection that spirals up and around the building’s exterior. This unique design element enables access to verdant outdoor terraces on the building’s 66 stories.

The doors of The Spiral have swung open to welcome prominent companies, including Pfizer, Debevoise & Plimpton, Turner Construction, and HSBC, among others. Situated on West 34th Street between Hudson Boulevard and 10th Avenue, this extraordinary commercial high-rise is a neighbor to the elevated High Line and Bella Abzug Park on Manhattan’s western side.
The tower, designed through the collaborative efforts of BIG, Adamson Associates, and structural engineer WSP Cantor Seinuk, stands tall at 66 stories and boasts a total floor area of 2.8 million square feet, reaching a remarkable height of 1,031.5 feet. The Spiral is actively pursuing LEED Silver certification as a testament to its sustainability. Notably, this tower represents BIG’s inaugural achievement of a completed supertall and a fully realized commercial high-rise in New York
