Related Unveils Plans for 55 Hudson Yards

NEW YORK CITY—The Related Cos. and Oxford Properties Group have unveiled Fifty Five Hudson Yards, the latest addition to the commercial office tower collection in the 28-acre Hudson Yards development. The building sits at the intersection of Hudson Yards, the High Line and Hudson Park & Boulevard, and its entrance is just across from the new number 7 subway extension, which connects to every other major subway line as well as Grand Central Station. Penn Station is also a less than five-minute walk away. The anticipated 51-story, 1.3 million-square-foot building is slated to begin construction in January, 2015 and be ready for occupancy at the end of 2017. 

One of the few office buildings in the city opening directly onto a park, the main lobby of Fifty Five Hudson Yards sits at the southwestern edge of the new Hudson Park. The design offers the ability to carve private, double-height terrace spaces into the tower in flexible locations. Fifty Five Hudson Yards will offer floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the building.
