    Coach, L'Oreal and SAP sign on as the first tenants of the Hudson Yards tower

    On April 10, 2013, developers Related Companies and Oxford Property Group said they had finished financing a 47-story tower rising at the corner of 30th Street and 10th Avenue, on its northwest side, and had signed three tenants: Coach, L'Oreal USA and SAP. The New York Times read the deals as a sign that tech and creative firms, not banks, would lead development of the Far West Side. Related's L. Jay Cross called it the emergence of the creative class in the city's corporate landscape.

    Coach pays $750 million for its condo and also helps lend for the tower

    Starwood Property Group led a $475 million construction loan for the tower in April 2013 and supplied $350 million of it, with Oxford, a carpenters' union and Coach providing the rest. Coach also bought its 738,000-square-foot commercial condominium for $750 million that month, so it was both lender and equity investor. The Real Deal reported that L'Oreal and SAP signed leases soon afterward.

    A Tutor Perini subsidiary is hired to build 10 Hudson Yards

    A subsidiary of Tutor Perini won the contract to build the tower in March 2013. Crews removed 70,000 cubic yards of soil and poured 11,000 cubic yards of concrete, and superstructure work began in August 2013. It was the one Hudson Yards tower not built on the artificial platform over the West Side rail yards, which is why it was the first finished.
