Construction Update: Hudson Yards
Looking north on 10th Avenue.
Hudson Yards' first phase at the eastern rail yards continues to make significant progress, with work progressing on all sites. When complete, the 28-acre site will be the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States, and the city's largest since Rockefeller Center in the 1930's.
30 Hudson Yards
Steel superstructure continues its rise at the second office tower, 30 Hudson Yards, at the northeastern corner of the rail yards. Designed by KPF, the 92-story, 1,287-foot tower will house Time Warner Inc. and feature an open-air observation deck. Steel superstructure has surpassed the 900 foot mark, with only the final third of it's structural height left before topping out. Installation of the glass curtain wall is also well underway, having surpassed the half-way mark.

Vessel
A large open space designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects will be located at the center of the development. The centerpiece of this space will be Thomas Heatherwick's Vessel, a 150 foot tall installation that features 154 flights of stairs arranged in a conical shape that flares outward as it rises. The public will be able to climb their way to the top and experience the site from different vantage points as they make the trek.
35 Hudson Yards
Superstructure is rising at 35 Hudson Yards, a 72-story mixed-use tower designed by SOM. At its final height of 1,000 feet it will be Hudson Yards' tallest residential building. The 1.1 million square-foot tower will include 137 private residences, an Equinox branded luxury hotel, an Equinox fitness club and spa, first-class office space, and ground-floor retail.
