The Spiral: $225/SF at Hudson Yards and the Pfizer Deal That Built It
The Spiral at 66 Hudson Yards is achieving rents around $225 per square foot in select spaces — a figure that reflects both the quality of the asset and the deliberate anchoring strategy behind its financing. To unlock a $1.8 billion construction loan, Tishman Speyer signed Pfizer as the anchor tenant at approximately 750,000 square feet. That single lease commitment made the building possible. Delivered in 2023, the 2.8 million square foot tower sits at the core of Hudson Yards, a submarket that has consistently attracted large-block, credit-quality tenants willing to pay for new construction, floor efficiency, and address. The Pfizer tenancy established the building's credibility at scale before a single floor was occupied — a case study in how anchor leasing functions as a capital markets instrument, not just an occupancy metric.
