Hotel Meta
Our Rendering For The Latest Skyscraper at Hudson Yards
Tall story
Towering 642 feet above the far West Side of Manhattan, in the heart of the ‘Big Apple’, the shimmering Manhattan Midtown Tribute Portfolio Hotel has brought a unique, kinetic-looking design to the Hudson Yards district, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Center.
It was truly the tallest building we’ve ever worked on in one of the best cities in the world, and we were super excited to share it with you firsthand.
Finally, it’s time to see the result of our global collaboration with DSM Design Group as we celebrate a pioneering architectural project that makes New York’s life, and our portfolio a bit fancier with a brand new skyscraper.
The play of light
The design was based on a series of shifted glass modules, arranged in a carefully coordinated order to be one of the most distinctive buildings of the lively neighborhood.
The new hotel features a unique twisting structure that resembles a stack of reflective glass Rubik’s Cubes that grants the tower a constantly changing appearance, as each part reflects to the ever-changing sky and the urban setting differently.
It will be very interesting to see the play of light down the streets of New York as the sun reflects off the differently angled glass panels throughout the day.
Though 2021 seemed like a precarious time to launch a hotel project, construction has since progressed significantly, with the exterior nearing completion on 450 Eleventh Avenue.
The third tallest hotel in New York
With completion targeted for early 2026, the 51-floor tower will house a 379-room hotel operated by Marriott International under its Tribute Portfolio brand, facing west toward the Hudson River. We wish the project much success in providing an engaging destination for both business-leisure travelers and tourists.
Upon opening, Hotel Meta is expected to rank as the third tallest hotel in New York City, surpassed only by the Courtyard/Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park and the Four Seasons New York.
Hotel Meta adds to our growing list of high-profile architectural visualization projects across the United States. From the new Block 32 tower in Austin to our cutting-edge renderings for the University of Cincinnati and Gensler’s Downtown Stadium, we’re proud to support some of America’s most ambitious developments.
