The Spiral

The Spiral is a 66-floor class-A office tower that offers 2.85 million square feet of sustainable office space. The building features a cascading series of landscaped terraces and hanging gardens. Tenants have access to outdoor terraces that ascend in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green pathway that wraps around the façade of the tower. The project used innovative techniques to achieve high levels of sustainability, including an advanced irrigation system for the terraces that uses collected rainwater to maintain the plants.

During construction of The Spiral, Turner implemented lean construction practices and utilized innovative data-driven solutions including a detailed just-in-time delivery plan that utilized RFID tags to track materials and construction progress. This minimized site congestion and maintained workflow efficiency. Turner utilized Building Information Modelling (BIM) to animate installation processes that ensured feasibility prior to construction in the field.

The Spiral was named the best Tall Building in its category by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and achieved LEED Gold Certification.

Turner’s New York offices are in The Spiral. The offices offer a healthy workplace for employees and guests and showcase a commitment to corporate sustainability. The office embodies Turner’s “active caring” culture that supports inclusion, wellness, and sustainability. The people-first environment can be seen in the energized work café and natural light-filled meeting and gathering spaces. Turner’s offices in The Spiral were certified LEED Platinum from the U.S. Green Building Council and WELL Platinum and achieved WELL Health & Safety certification.
