More than five years after
Hudson Yards got its groundbreaking, the megaproject has reached another milestone: According to developers Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, 15 Hudson Yards, the complex’s first residential building, has topped out.
The building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, stands 917 feet tall—not quite hitting supertall status, but large enough to create an imposing presence. It has 285 apartments, four of which are
pricey penthouses located at its crown, along with a bevy of
over-the-top amenities that include a 75-foot swimming pool, a screening room, and
a co-working space that’s essentially a WeWork for the building’s residents. The building also abuts The Shed, the megaproject’s forthcoming cultural space that’s also designed by DS+R and the Rockwell Group.
Those apartments
hit the market in the fall of 2016, and as of this writing, more than half of the units have sold; Related CEO Jeff Blau said in a statement that interest “has far exceeded everyone’s expectations.”
