Hudson Yards Master Plan

New York, NY

Client: Durst/Vornado
Completion: 2007
Area: 100 acres

FXFOWLE was commissioned by the Hudson Yards Development Corporation (HYDC) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to prepare a vision plan and development guidelines for the 28 acre Eastern and Western Rail Yards, Manhattan’s next great development area. The plan calls for a vibrant mix of cultural, residential and commercial buildings, linked to public transportation. Subsequently, FXFOWLE served as the architects for the Durst/Vornado team and designed their proposal for the east and west yards developer’s competition, entitled Hudson Center. The Durst/Vornado master plan is anchored by a new tower for Condé Nast. The plan provided a network of open spaces to serve as the connector between Hudson River Park, the High Line, and the Hudson Yards greenway.
