Related and Oxford complete $2 billion capitalization of 35 Hudson Yards

More than 8.5 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail space at Hudson Yards fully financed and under construction

Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group today announced the $2 billion full capitalization of 35 Hudson Yards, the 1.1-million-square-foot tower on the corner of 33rd Street and 11th Avenue set to open in 2019. The tower’s full capitalization includes $1.2 billion in debt financing led by the Children’s Investment Fund (TCI). 35 Hudson Yards will contain an Equinox® branded luxury hotel, office, residential and retail uses.

Stephen M. Ross, chairman and founder of Related Companies, said, “This capitalization further underscores the appeal of Hudson Yards with both global capital and global companies. This marquee mixed-use tower will be the tallest residential building in Hudson Yards and will offer residents unrivaled access to the best New York has to offer: culture, fashion, fitness, dining and grand open spaces. It is sure to set a new standard for New York living.”

Blake Hutcheson, CEO of Oxford Properties Group, said, “A clear vision is at the heart of Hudson Yards’ success. We are grateful that this clear vision has become a shared vision—shared between Oxford and Related, and world-leading master planners, architects, suppliers, legal and other professional service providers, tenants and, as we celebrate today, financial partners. We are excited to turn this vision into a reality unlike anything ever seen before.”

Standing 1,000 feet tall, 35 Hudson Yards will offer never-before-seen views from Manhattan’s West Side. Designed by David Childs and Skidmore Owings & Merrill, the tower will feature approximately 137 exclusive for-sale residences that start at 500 feet in the air offering breathtaking views, an Equinox® branded luxury hotel comprising more than 200 rooms, a world-class 60,000 square-foot Equinox® fitness club and spa, Equinox’s® global office headquarters, SoulCycle and ground floor and second floor retail space. Martin Frass-Ehrfeld, chairman of TCI Real Estate Partners, said, “We are excited to continue our partnership in Hudson Yards with Related and Oxford. Following our existing investment in Fifteen Hudson Yards, the development of 35 Hudson Yards will further add to the residential appeal of Hudson Yards.”

At Hudson Yards, more than 8.5 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail space has been financed and is under construction. 10 Hudson Yards—home to Coach, Inc., L’Oréal USA, The Boston Consulting Group, German software engineering firm SAP, VaynerMedia, Intersection and Sidewalk Labs—opened in May of this year. Sales for the 285 residences at Fifteen Hudson Yards and 137 residences at 35 Hudson Yards will launch this year. 55 Hudson Yards, home to Boies, Schiller & Flexner, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP and Point72, will open in 2018.

The one-million-square-foot retail center and 5-acre public plaza will open in the fall of 2018, followed in 2019 by 30 Hudson Yards, the commercial office tower that will house KKR, Wells Fargo Securities, TimeWarner, HBO, CNN, Warner Bros and Turner Broadcasting as well as Related and Oxford. Hudson Yards is the largest private real estate development in the nation’s history. The site itself will include 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space; more than 100 shops and restaurants, including New York City’s first Neiman Marcus and signature restaurants by chefs Thomas Keller, José Andrés and Costas Spiliadis; approximately 4,000 residences; 14 acres of public open space; a new 750-seat public school; and Equinox® branded luxury hotel with more than 200 rooms—all offering unparalleled amenities for residents, employees and guests.
