The first LEED Gold Neighborhood Development in Manhattan, Hudson Yards includes onsite power-generation, two cogeneration plants, and stormwater collection for reuse on site.
At the nexus of Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Midtown, and the Hudson River waterfront, it connects these neighborhoods previously separated by the undeveloped site. Organized around 14 acres of thoughtfully designed public spaces, Hudson Yards is the center of New York City’s rapidly changing West Side. A distinctive community characterized by and an active program of shops, restaurants, arts, and culture, the development is anchored by KPF-designed 10 and 30 Hudson Yards, two high-rise office towers linked by a mixed-use podium, 20 Hudson Yards. It was about creating dynamic spaces to be used and enjoyed by residents and workers, and a celebrated destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. The plan for Hudson Yards was not just about erecting tall buildings or bricks and mortar.
