Work on 15, 30, and 35 Hudson Yards in the first phase of Related Companies’ master plan is wrapping up, as the construction elevator hoists on the exterior of the skyscrapers are in the process of being dismantled. The fast pace of construction at the $25 billion Midtown site was followed by a number of milestone completions, dedication ceremonies, and openings. 15 Hudson Yards is designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Rockwell Group, 30 Hudson Yards by Kohn Pedersen Fox, and 35 Hudson Yards by Skidmore Owings & Merrill.
Photos from the third phase of the High Line show the last sections of the curtain wall that will soon be filled in where the hoists had been placed.

Really this last year saw the biggest changes in the NYC skyline of any since 1 World Trade Center was completed. It was a turning point for Midtown especially. We won’t have another year like that for a long time.
