Right next to the Hudson river, Manhattan has one big scar. A big hole in the ground where trains are parked. It's an industrial zone of Manhattan. But not for long. Whole west side of Manhattan is being redeveloped into new office/residential/commercial district. And everything starts with the project called Hudson Yards. New modern architecture for Manhattan, new New York towers, one of the tallest in Manhattan. 


Famous architecture firms working on those projects are Architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill; Thomas Phifer & Partners; SHoP Architects and Diller Scofidio + Renfro; Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa; Handel Architects. The tallest towers in the complex will be 394m (1292ft) and 310m (1017ft) with 65 and 54 floors.

"A spectacular luxury hotel will add to the mixed-use character of the Yards. A sleek architectural design prominently located on the Plaza, this 300 room five-star hotel will also provide some of the most luxurious residences in New York City - with services provided by the hotel and the consummate amenity package. The hotel will provide smaller and more intimate dining, conferencing, and banqueting options for office tenants, along with an elegant high-end spa experience. Corporate guests will be able to stay close to both headquarters and all the action, in a dramatic setting on the park that will be unparalleled elsewhere in Midtown Manhattan."
