30 Hudson Yards

New York City, United States

The 51st tallest building in the world

395 m · 1,296 ft

30 Hudson Yards (also known during construction as the North Tower) is a supertall commercial skyscraper on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Located near Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, and the Penn Station area, the building is part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, a plan to redevelop the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's West Side Yard. It is the seventh-tallest building in New York City and the ninth-tallest in the United States as of May 2025. The building has a triangular observation deck, known as The Edge, jutting out from the 100th floor, with a bar and event space on the 101st floor. This observation deck, at 1,100 feet (340 m), opened in March 2020 and is the second-highest outdoor observation deck containing optically transparent flooring in the world, after the Cabo Girão Skywalk. The building was formerly the headquarters for WarnerMedia until the company merged with Discovery, Inc. in 2022 to form Warner Bros. Discovery; WBD remains a tenant of the building. The building also serves as the headquarters for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., an American global investment company.
