The Vessel has officially reopened to the public in Hudson Yards, Manhattan following the completion of safety modifications to the beleaguered attraction. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio and developed by Related Companies, the 15-story honeycomb of staircases stands 150 feet tall as the centerpiece of the first phase of Hudson Yards, and originally opened along with the complex in March 2019. However, access to the attraction was shuttered in July 2021 following a string of suicides from its elevated platforms. Earlier this year, work began on a safety system consisting of steel mesh netting stretched between the openings in the structure, and the revamped attraction is now back to operation.
New renderings have been revealed for Related Companies and Wynn Resorts’ $12 billion mixed-use gaming complex proposal for the second phase of Hudson Yards.

The new batch of towers would rise directly west of the first phase of Hudson Yards over the 13-acre Western Rail Yards bound by West 33rd Street to the north, West 30th Street to the south, Eleventh Avenue to the east, and West Street to the west.
