Already under construction, the building contains both rental and condominium apartments. The 960,000-square-foot building will be completed in 2018, and sales are expected to begin in mid-2016.

15 Hudson Yards will have frontage on the newly created plaza at the center of Hudson Yards and is also adjacent to the High Line and directly connected to the Culture Shed, a multi-purpose venue that will host art, design and special events, including New York’s Fashion Week.
Hudson Yards will also serve as the corporate home to Boies, Schiller & Flexner; The Boston Consulting Group; Coach Inc.; global investment firm KKR; L’Oréal USA; German software engineering firm SAP; Time Warner Inc.; and VaynerMedia.
