About Hudson Yards: the back story

Hudson Yards was built above the rail yards between 30th and 34th Streets, creating a new neighbourhood of towers, shops, a cultural centre and an observation deck.

Edge

Edge, on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, is the neighbourhood’s big attraction.

The Vessel and the Shed

The Vessel is the honeycomb-like structure in the central plaza, and the Shed presents new art and performance.

Edge’s glass floor looks straight down from the 100th floor.

Living here

Fifteen and 35 Hudson Yards are among the residential towers; the Equinox Hotel occupies part of 35 Hudson Yards.

Our advice: arrive along the High Line from the south.
