Stepping Into the Yards: A Mega Project on the Hudson

Hudson Yards, Aerial View Looking West, ©VH - 09/2012

If the Hudson Yards only means a construction site and a traffic snarl to you, it's time to dig deeper. The Yards is not only NYC's biggest development project since Rockefeller Center, it's also the largest private real estate development in U.S. history. To learn more about the housing, offices, parks and cultural spaces soon to enter the Manhattan mix, don't miss this panel discussion co-sponsored by the AIA New York Chapter | Center for Architecture. Both the process of development and the prospects for the city's future in light of this game changing development will be discussed.

Speakers:

Jay Cross, President of Related Hudson Yards

Sarah Goldhagen, Architecture Critic

William Pedersen, FAIA, Founding Design Partner of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates

Thomas Woltz, FASLA, Principal and owner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects
