Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project - Related Companies Project

Related Companies Project

Hudson Yards is a proposed mixed-use real estate development that will be part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The development is expected to consist of 16 skyscrapers using the air rights of the West Side Yard, and is planned to contain over 12,700,000 square feet (1,180,000 m2) of new office, residential, and retail space.

The developer of the project is Related Companies, with Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates as the Master Planner. The Hudson Yards master plan includes 13 million square feet of commercial and residential development efficiently designed with cutting edge sustainability features. The master plan comprises six million square feet of state-of-the-art commercial office space, a 750,000 square foot foot destination retail center with two-levels of specialty destination restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a five star hotel, an iconic cultural space, approximately 5,000 residences and a new 750-seat school, all carefully planned around 14 acres of public open space.

The project will be built on a platform above both the eastern and western portions of the John D. Caemmerer West Side Yard. The Related Companies project is the centerpiece of the larger Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project; the eastern half was not part of the original 2005 rezoning.

The first building to be built will be a 895-foot-tall office building in the southeast corner of the site anchored by Coach.

Famous quotes containing the words related, companies and/or project:

    The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Socialite women meet socialite men and mate and breed socialite children so that we can fund small opera companies and ballet troupes because there is no government subsidy.
    Sugar Rautbord, U.S. socialite fund-raiser and self-described “trash” novelist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
