10, 30, 55 Hudson Yards / KPF

On March 15, 2019，Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) celebrated the opening of Hudson Yards at a ceremony hosted by The Related Companies and attended by representatives from New York City and State government, civic groups, prominent New Yorkers, and members of the public. The event marked the opening of The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards and the neighborhood’s public spaces, as well as the substantial completion of 30 Hudson Yards, the tallest building of the development and home to the highest outdoor observation deck in the western hemisphere. The milestone is the culmination of over a decade of work by KPF at Hudson Yards, the scope of which includes the design of 10, 30, and 55 Hudson Yards, the exterior of the development’s retail podium, and the platform on which the whole neighborhood rests – a significant technical and engineering endeavor in and of itself.
