55 Hudson Yards
New York City, New York

55 Hudson Yards is a planned office building that will be the newest addition to the Hudson Yards development, the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States and the largest development in NYC since the Rockefeller Center.  Located at the southeast corner of 11th Avenue and 34th Street, 55 Hudson Yards is set to be 1.3 million square-feet with 51 floors. Construction is scheduled to be complete by 2018.  Upon completion, prominent companies and law firms such as Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP and Boies, Schiller & Flexner will relocate to 55 Hudson Yards.

Mitsui Fudosan America, Inc. (MFA), Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group have partnered on the development of 55 Hudson Yards.  Gilbane Building Company has been named as a general contractor of the project.

Project Highlights

FC-CS is providing access control and worker tracking for the 55 Hudson Yards construction site. The project was originally using different provider, but the project owner insisted on finding a better tool.  This resulted in Gilbane reaching out to FC-CS.  After several meetings, we were able to agree on a program that would replace and better enforce the access control component as well as the value add reporting.  Gilbane and FC-CS worked closely to design a labor compliance report that is sent out daily.  The report identifies total number of trades and classifications, as well as accumulated hours for each person and class.
