10 Hudson Yards
New York City, United States
The 228th tallest building in the world
10 Hudson Yards, also known as the South Tower, is an office building that was completed in 2016 on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City, United States. Located near Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea and the Penn Station area, the building is a part of the Hudson Yards urban renewal project, a plan to redevelop the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's West Side Yard. Coach New York is the anchor tenant. During planning, the tower was known as Tower C.
Hudson Yards, conceived through a large master plan by Kohn Pedersen Fox, is expected to consist of 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12.7 million square feet (1,180,000 m2) of new office, residential, and retail space. Among its components will be 6 million square feet (560,000 m2) of commercial office space, a 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) retail center with two levels of restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a hotel, a cultural space, about 5,000 residences, a 750-seat school, and 14 acres (5.7 ha) of public open space. 10 Hudson Yards, the first building on the site, is expected to help draw visitors to the area.
Groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards occurred on December 4, 2012, with a provisional completion date of 2016. Foundation work continued through the first half of 2013 and the superstructure work began on the tower in August 2013. During excavation work, 70,000 cubic yards (54,000 m3) of soil was removed and 11,000 cubic yards (8,400 m3) of concrete was poured. The contract to construct the tower was awarded to a subsidiary of Tutor Perini in March 2013. The tower is the first tower in the Hudson Yards complex to have been completed, because it is the only Hudson Yards tower not on the artificial platform over the West Side Yards. As of March 2014, 10 Hudson Yards had risen more than 100 feet (30 m). As of February 2015, 10 Hudson Yards was 27 stories tall. As of April 2015, thirty-two of the tower's 52 floors had been completed. As of November 2015, 10 Hudson Yards had topped out. The tower was opened on May 31, 2016, with the first 300 Coach, Inc. employees moving into the building. As of November 2022, 10 Hudson Yards was the 49th-tallest building in the United States.
