After acquiring a full block in Hudson Square for $650 million last year, Disney has released renderings of its new 1.2-million-square headquarters at 4 Hudson Square.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is designing the new 22-story, 320-foot building between Varick, Hudson, Van Dam and Spring Streets. The facade will be clad in efficient, triple-paned glass and green terra cotta framing that surrounds the windows. Anodized aluminum will accent portions of the exterior, including the entrance, which will have a bronze-colored surround, and shroud mechanical areas on the tops of the towers. The building will also have several outdoor spaces, beginning on the ninth floor, created by a series of setbacks and the separation of the building into two separate towers. The towers will be linked by a two-story, glassed-in walkway that will function as the center of two amenity floors. Those 10th and 11th floors will have a conference center, food options, coworking areas and a movie screening room.
