Foundation work continued through the first half of 2013 and the superstructure work began on the tower in August 2013. During excavation work, 70000cuyd of soil have been removed and 11000cuyd of concrete have been poured. The contract to construct the tower was awarded to a subsidiary of Tutor Perini in March 2013. The tower is the first tower in the Hudson Yards complex to be built, because it is the only Hudson Yards tower not on the artificial platform over the West Side Yards.
