Meet The Spiral—one of New York City’s boldest new office towers. This 66-story stunner reimagines skyscraper design by blending lush greenery with sleek, modern architecture. Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Tishman Speyer, the building features cascading terraces and hanging gardens that spiral around its shimmering glass façade in a continuous green ribbon. Every floor connects to outdoor space, creating a more natural, refreshing environment for tenants—right in the heart of the city.
Rising 1,021 feet next to High Line Park, The Spiral offers 2.85 million square feet of premium office space. It officially opened in 2023 and now ranks as the eighth tallest building in NYC. Inside, you’ll find open floor plans, soaring ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows—all wrapped in a sleek, column-free floor plate design.
Coatings Preserve Aesthetic Appeal and Durability
To keep The Spiral looking sharp and holding strong against the elements, the building is coated in TIGER Drylac® Series 75—a high-performance powder coating using LUMIFLON® FEVE resins that is made specifically for architectural applications. Two custom “Spiral Silver” finishes (598/91541 and 75/90127) were applied to the aluminum curtain walls, window frames and door frames. The result? A seamless, polished look that complements the reflective glass exterior.
Why LUMIFLON Makes the Difference
TIGER Drylac coatings get their powerhouse performance from LUMIFLON FEVE resins. These resins bring serious benefits:
- Long-Term Weather Resistance
They resist UV degradation, preventing oxidation and keeping the building’s finish looking great for decades. - Tough Against Corrosion and Chemicals
NYC weather isn’t gentle. LUMIFLON resins help protect the façade from rust, pollution, and grime. - Color and Gloss Retention
Minimizes fading and chalking. The finish holds its color and shine year after year. - Low Maintenance
Dirt, stains, and pollutants are repelled. That means less cleaning and no frequent touch-ups.
Bonus: LUMIFLON resins are formulated with low or zero VOCs, making them an eco-friendly choice that supports The Spiral’s LEED Gold certification and sustainability goals.
Award-Winning Innovation
In 2024, The Spiral took home the NYCxDESIGN Award for Building Facade, highlighting its impact on the city’s skyline and its commitment to smart, sustainable design
From its signature twist of greenery to the advanced materials behind its walls, The Spiral proves that cutting-edge design and long-term durability can go hand in hand—especially when powered by standout coating materials that contain LUMIFLON FEVE resins.
