Though it seems hardly a week can go by without a flurry of news from Manhattan’s newest instant neighborhood, Hudson Yards, the west side mega-project–the largest private development in the nation’s history–developed by Related Companies and Oxford Propertied Group now has announced that Friday, March 15th will be its official opening date. In addition to a grand opening celebration, the Public Square and Gardens and the neighborhood’s centerpiece, Thomas Heatherwick’s “Vessel,” are set to open on that date; more importantly, The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards will be officially open.
Tenants will be moving into the towers at 55 Hudson Yards and 30 Hudson Yards in phases over the next few months according to a press release, and residents will soon be moving in at 15 Hudson Yards. The flurry of firsts from the 28-acre complex in recent months has included the topping out and interior renderings from the development’s tallest residential tower (35 Hudson Yards), progress on NYC’s highest outdoor observation deck (30 Hudson Yards) and the growing tenant roster at the Norman Foster-designed 50 Hudson Yards, the city’s most expensive office building.
Most recently The Shed, the new arts center at Hudson Yards announced an opening date (April 5, 2019) and additional opening season commissions. In addition to The Shed’s cultural contributions, 25 restaurant and food concepts are setting up shop at Hudson Yards, with chefs like David Chang, Michael Lomonaco, Thomas Keller and Costas Spiliadis weighing in. Retail and food offerings include a Neiman Marcus store which will anchor the Shops and Restaurants and bar, restaurant, and event space on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards–one floor above the tower’s observation deck.
Opening day events include an invitation-only celebration at The Shops and Restaurants on the night of Thursday, March 14th and an Official Grand Opening Celebration and first walk on Vessel on the morning of March 15th. Expect more information and many, many more announcements in the months to come.
