Construction wraps up on The Walt Disney Company’s 22-story New York headquarters at 7 Hudson Square in Hudson Square, Manhattan. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and developed by Silverstein Properties, the 338-foot-tall structure yields a total of 1.2 million square feet for new offices, film and production studios, and ground-floor retail space. Gensler served as the interior designer, and Lendlease served the general contractor for the ground-up project, which is alternately addressed as 137 Varick Street formerly addressed as 4 Hudson Square, and stands on an 85,600-square-foot full-block plot bound by Vandam Street to the north, Spring Street to the south, Varick Street to the east, and Hudson Street to the west.

All of the sidewalk sheds, scaffolding, and constructor barriers were removed from the massive site since our last update at the end of February, when much of the ground floor was still largely hidden and obscured. Since then, recent photographs show the finished state of the exterior facade, multiple entrances, and completed sidewalk landscaping with additional bollards going around the eastern, southern, and western elevations.

The nearest subway stations from the new corporate office building include the Spring Street stop to the east, servicing the C and E trains, and the Houston Street stop to the northeast, servicing the 1 train.

7 Hudson Square is aiming to achieve LEED and Wellness certification. It remains to be seen as to the exact move-in timeline for Disney and ABC staff.
