The city’s skyline, with the salient silhouettes of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, needs no introduction. But there are many welcome additions to the staple of noteworthy attractions in 2019.
Hudson Yards, a neighborhood developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, contains more than 18 million square feet of commercial and residential space, and will reinvent the skyline and the western margin of New York City from Midtown and below with the addition of over 100 shops, 4,000 residences, and 14 acres of public open space, as well as an Equinox-branded hotel with 200 rooms dedicated to a fitness lifestyle.

The tallest building in the development will be 30 Hudson Yards, which will boast an observation deck accessible from the 100th floor that will have the distinction of being the highest man-made viewing area in the western hemisphere, and the fifth highest in the world. This deck is crafted with Italian steel, structural glass, and granite paver stones quarried in Virginia and finished in Quebec, and is billed as “a truly international endeavor.”
