The Edge’s 101st-floor bar and Peak at 101 Hudson Yards add to the upscale culinary scene.
History of Major Attractions
Hudson Yards occupies the former Hudson Yards rail yard, once the largest in the world. Development began in the early 2000s, culminating in Phase I’s 2019 opening. Key attractions include:
- The Vessel: A honeycomb-like structure designed as an interactive public art installation.
- The Shed: A cultural center hosting avant-garde performances and exhibitions.
- Edge: The highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, projecting 80 feet over the Hudson River.
The High Line, an elevated park repurposed from a historic rail line, connects to the neighborhood’s southern edge.

The neighborhood features a mix of commercial skyscrapers, luxury condominiums, and cultural venues. Office towers like 10 Hudson Yards and 30 Hudson Yards dominate the skyline, while residential buildings such as 35 Hudson Yards and 15 Hudson Yards offer ultra-luxury condos.
