Workers broke ground on a 62-story, amenity-filled residential tower on West 31st Street, the building's developer announced Wednesday.

The 844-unit, $800 million structure will open to residents in 2017, with a regulation-size basketball court, a climbing wall and rooftop grills, according to Brookfield Properties, the developer. The building is part of Brookfield's Manhattan West development.

The developer said 20 percent of the studio, one- and two-bedroom units will be set aside as affordable housing.

The $4.5 billion Manhattan West project will eventually include two new office towers, a five-star hotel and a 2-acre public park.

The tower site at 435 W. 31st St. between Ninth and Dyer avenues is near Related's Hudson Yards project.
