55 Hudson Yards, Postmodern skyscraper in Hudson Yards, United States.
55 Hudson Yards is a postmodern skyscraper with 51 floors that rises 238 meters above Manhattan's skyline. The building houses primarily office and commercial spaces within the Hudson Yards development area.
The structure was designed by architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox and completed in 2019. It was built on a former rail yard site, marking the transformation of that area into a modern commercial hub.
Artworks from contemporary artists, including pieces by Frank Stella, appear throughout the building's spaces. These works become part of the everyday environment, allowing visitors to encounter art naturally as they move through the building.
The building is easily accessible by public transportation with multiple subway lines nearby. A direct connection to the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station on the 7 train line makes getting there straightforward.
The building has two basement levels that connect to an underground passage system linking different parts of Hudson Yards. This hidden network beneath street level is largely invisible to casual visitors but plays a key role in how the district functions.
