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.

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.
Once it's complete, 30 Hudson Yards will be New York City's fourth-tallest building. It will house the city's highest public observation deck with an open-air viewing platform. It will be 1,100 ft. high
Connecting the two skyscrapers will be a 1 million-square-foot space for shops and restaurants. It will have seven levels of retail and dining. By 2018, the building will have 20 restaurants, 100 shops, and an anchor department store.
Thirty-five Hudson Yards, on the corner of 33rd Street and 11th Avenue, will be a 79-story residential building.
Seventy-story 15 Hudson Yards will be residential as well, with an additional 150-room luxury hotel, ballroom, and spa. It's planned for the corner of 30th Street and 11th Avenue.

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.
