Phase 2 development of Hudson Yards includes commercial office space, public plazas, and waterfront greenways.
NY DISTRICT NEWSMANHATTAN — The New York City Planning Commission has officially approved modified land-use permits and zoning variances for the second phase of the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan's Far West Side.
The 3.4 million-square-foot proposal includes two commercial office towers, ground-floor retail corridors, public open space, and direct subterranean connections to the 34th Street-Hudson Yards subway station.
Supporters of the expansion highlight the creation of thousands of permanent commercial jobs and construction trades positions over the next four years.
Community Board 4 members secured commitments from developers to construct public park space, fund pedestrian safety infrastructure along 11th Avenue, and preserve historic industrial facades along the perimeter.
Construction on the initial foundation structures is scheduled to begin in early 2027 following final City Council oversight hearings.
