Description

Hudson Yards (located between 10th and 12th Avenues from West 30th to West 34th Streets) is the largest private real-estate development in New York City history. For nearly 100 years, the undiscovered far-west side of Manhattan was an urban wasteland, until the largest rezoning project in New York City history paved the way for Hudson Yards to become a reality.

Founded in 1972 with just a $10,000 family loan, Stephen Ross began Related Companies as a provider of affordable housing. To this day, Related is both one of the largest providers of affordable housing in the country, and the developer of Hudson Yards. Related Companies is a pioneer in designing and engineering projects that redefine urban life and push the limits on what can be accomplished.

Join us for a tour of Hudson Yards, an optional visit to the incomparable Edge, and a presentation by Andrew Rosen, Chief Operating Officer of Hudson Yards. Learn the history of “Death Avenue” and the revitalization of the High Line as an example of urban renewal and practical infrastructure for the people of New York and its millions of visitors. In this exclusive presentation, Andrew will also speak about the evolution of the Hudson Yards development and future plans.

Optional lunch following the event at Queensyard. Please contact Herb Kaplan (herbkaplan3701@gmail.com) if you wish to attend.

Capacity is limited. PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER BY NOON ON MAY 11TH.
