Designed by master plan architect Helmut Jahn, landscape architect Peter Walker, and master planner Cooper Robertson, Hudson Yards will become a new landmark within the context of New York’s architectural
tradition. Amid the bustling commercial towers to the east and the residential neighborhood to the west, a cohesive network of green spaces forms a grand civic
gesture towards the Hudson.
Our plan celebrates the High Line, restoring the abandoned rail structure to link West Chelsea and Greenwich Village with the Hudson Yards, the Javits Convention Center, and the Hudson River.
Retail-lined streets evocative of Rockefeller Center’s Channel Gardens invite pedestrians into the project. Extensive shopping and dining spaces will line the base of each building, creating a vibrant pedestrian environment around the site. Along 30th Street, a series of distinctive retail spaces beneath and alongside the High Line will activate area streets and form a natural relationship to the arts and culture district to the south.
A variety of world-class architects will design each individual building in our master plan.
