Without much fanfare — and as quietly as a construction project can be — a new neighbourhood is taking shape on the west edge of Manhattan. It’s the largest private real estate project the city has ever seen. But neither its size or cost make it interesting.
As if building an entire neighbourhood on top of an active rail yard were not already crazy enough, the developers for Hudson Yards are also planning a 51-storey tower that will be constructed on top of and above an existing building. Yup, Manhattan is a crowded mess.
