Facade installation is ongoing at The Walt Disney Company’s 22-story New York headquarters at 4 Hudson Square in Lower Manhattan. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM), the full block development features a massing with setbacks that afford terraces for employees and two towers. In total, the development will include 1.2 million gross square feet with floor plates up to 85,000 square feet.
