This is freakin awesome!



Located on the far west side of Manhattan, Hudson Yards is one of the biggest private developments in U.S. history. The 28-acre complex will sit above rail tracks that service New York City and is expected to revitalize an entire neighborhood.

New York City is constantly evolving as new skyscrapers shoot into the sky.
And adding to the city's already dynamic skyline is Hudson Yards, a massive new development on Manhattan's far west side. The $20 billion project is a joint effort between real estate firm Related Companies and real estate investment, development, and management company Oxford Properties Group.

The first phase of Hudson Yards is slated for completion in the next four years. The complex, which will sit between 10th and 12th Avenues and run from 30th to 34th Street, will include public parks, office towers, shops, restaurants, and more.

It will be made accessible by an extension of the existing No. 7 subway line.

We recently got a tour of the construction site and renderings of what Hudson Yards will look like when it's complete. Keep reading to see what the future holds for Manhattan's West Side.

Here are some renderings and ideas of what it will be and the timeline
The first phase of Hudson Yards is the Eastern Rail Yard, which will have several residential and office towers, along with dozens of shops and restaurants to occupy an expected 65,000 visitors a day. The Western Yard will be mostly residential.

There are five main skyscrapers planned for the Eastern Rail Yard. The first is 10 Hudson Yards, which will rise 895 feet above 30th Street and 10th Avenue, and have 1.7 million square feet of space. Coach, L'Oreal, Fairway, and SAP will be future tenants.

Thirty Hudson Yards will be built on 33rd Street and 10th Avenue. At 1,227 feet tall, it will have 2.6 million square feet of space. Future tenants will be Time Warner, HBO, CNN, and WB, and it's slated for completion in late 2018.

Hudson Yards will also be home to something called "The Culture Shed," a multipurposed venue with seven levels of galleries and performance spaces. It has a moving outer layer that lets it nearly double in size and will host touring art exhibits, New York Fashion Week, and various shows.

I thought someone had already posted this somewhere. Either way, really cool deal. I wonder how they are able to cover the railyard to support these massive buildings.

I don't like the proposed designs of these buildings, but the development is hella cool. There was quite the uproar getting all the approvals.

I like this because it has a nice balance of concrete, steel, and glass

The construction is crazy right now for sure. My Sales territory is Brooklyn, so I am there 5 days...every month. It is very nerve racking getting around because of all the construction. Like, border line...make you want to cry, because you have no idea how to get anywhere construction.
