Love it or loathe it, there is no denying that the Hudson Yards plan developed by Related Companies and Oxford Property Group transformed a forlorn rail yard into a glittering new neighborhood that has remade the Manhattan skyline and brought new places to live, work, play, and dine to the Far West Side. It is the city’s largest development since Rockefeller Center, and the largest private real estate development in the United States.
In this article:
Upon completion, Hudson Yards will contain over 18 million square feet of commercial and residential space. It is currently home to performance venue The Shed, Vessel (which is open for climbing with new policies in place), and high-end shopping and dining. Open space includes Hudson River Park, the ever-expanding Hudson Boulevard and Park, the High Line, and Pier 76, a tow pound turned public recreation space on the Hudson River waterfront.
Hudson Yards proper features apartments for sale in Fifteen Hudson Yards and 35 Hudson Yards. For those who aren't looking to buy, a number of rental buildings have sprung up in close proximity to the mega-development, and additional rental towers are on the rise with a total of 2,048 units to come on the market, a portion of which will be affordable.

The attractions and views of Hudson Yards have proven highly appealing to commercial tenants. Facebook signed a lease for a whopping 1.5 million square feet of space across three Hudson Yards buildings in November 2019, and other notable office tenants include Apple, WarnerMedia, BlackRock, KKR, Wells Fargo, L’Oreal USA, and Tapestry (parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman). Also in the area, Pfizer was the first signed tenant at the Bjarke Ingels-designed Spiral. Some have questioned how the economic downturn and closing of offices would affect Hudson Yards; however, high vaccination rates have allowed the companies to announce return-to-work dates.
In remarks on Hudson Yards’ opening day, Senator Chuck Schumer noted that the extension of the 7 train to Eleventh Avenue was a key part of the development. The A/C/E lines, the Port Authority bus terminal, Penn Station, several bus lines, and an intermodal ferry terminal at 40th Street are also located within walking distance. But for those who wish to walk to work, we present new buildings on the rise as well as the top 10 rentals currently welcoming residents.

At the beginning of 2021, 555 West 38th Street topped out at 52 stories and 570 feet high. By virtue of its sheer height and glassy facade, residents of the 591 units will enjoy views of the Javits Center's green roof and the Hudson River. The building's retail space will be a year-round attraction for an area that traditionally sees the most buzz around conventions, and residential amenities will include a fitness center, a 33rd-floor landscaped roof deck, a game room, golf simulator, squash court, and bicycle parking. Completion is estimated for late 2021.
