15 Hudson Yards and The Shed
Northwest corner of 15 Hudson Yards (foreground) and The Shed (background).
The first residential tower, 15 Hudson Yards, continues to make progress as its concrete superstructure rises above street level, towards its final height of 900 feet. Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, the 70-story tower will offer both condo and rental units. Sales for the 285 one- to four-bedroom condo units begins today.

Designed by the same team as 15 Hudson Yards, The Shed will accommodate performance, visual and multi-disciplinary art in a 200,000-square-foot structure. The project is composed of a four-story fixed building and a telescoping outer shell that can expand to the adjoining plaza to provide an additional hall for events. Steel superstructure on the fixed building has reached the fifth floor. Currently, superstructure for The Shed's fixed building is rising and a mockup of the innovative ETFE façade panels is on site. The structure, including the roof, will be clad in panels of fritted ETFE cushions. ETFE is lighter, more energy efficient, and more economical than glass, which allows for a lighter and more efficient structural system.
