Inside the Design of One Hudson Yards

Andre Kikoski Architect integrates art and artisan works into the site's luxury rentals. A new neighborhood is going up on the west side of Manhattan.  Hudson Yards , a 28-acre mixed-use development that spans from West 30th to 34th streets along the Hudson River, is an engineering feat in the city. Capping an active railyard, the site creates buildable land where there wasn’t any before, and developer Related is filling it with offices, shopping, residences, and  public art . Recently, the 33-story One Hudson Yards (by architect  Davis Brody Bond ) began renting luxury apartments on the south side of the site, adjacent to the elevated  High Line  park.

Guardian Employee & Customer Mantra

A new thrust in expanding Guardian’s talents took place earlier this year with the addition of Lyn Bressler, Human Resources Manager, to the company’s staff. With her brothers, Matthew and Jeremy, Lyn represents the fourth generation of the Bressler family in the company. “I am working on developing our new personnel system, where people can apply for jobs on-line, and information goes directly into a computerized database.” Lyn, in addition, has become part of Guardian’s “people response” to inquiries from clients. Lyn Bressler  “When they call with a question or problem,” she says, “we don’t want them to have to go through a variety of automated systems and be plac ed on hold. When they call, they get Alan, they get Sandy, they get me. They get the owners or the family of the owners. It’s part of the Guardian culture.” “Part of what we do in our social media is to identify trends in our industry and talk about them,” says Matthew Bressler, Vice President, Lighting &Wind...
