Apartment rentals New York with Hudson Yards

Imperial Companies & Shorenstein Properties have teamed up with designers Ismael Leyva and BKSK Architects to complete a 33-story tower in the rapidly transforming Hudson Yards neighborhood at 515 West 38th Street. Now that the building is finally complete, beautiful homes inside are officially on the market.

The first official rendering for a new High Line-adjacent rental building from Related Companies has been revealed. Pro-development blog YIMBY published the rendering of 520 West 30th Street, which will rise 28 stories and bring 174 new apartments to the Hudson Yards neighborhood near the High Line in Chelsea.

The words Manhattan and real estate development have long been synonymous, so it should come as no surprise when The Real Deal recently announced that the Gotham Organization would be taking on one of the largest new construction projects in Manhattan yet. The Gotham Organization project is expected to cost over $520 million and consists of four separate buildings spanning an entire Manhattan city block at 550 West 45th Street between 10th and 11th Avenue. Out of the 1,238 expected units for rent, close to 600 of them will be constructed with low-, moderate- and middle-income New Yorkers in mind.

No, we're still not going to call the rising residential neighborhood in West Chelsea and West Clinton -- Hudson Yards, to some -- by the name real estate types have tried to hang on it. But just because we're not going to call "The Linc" The Linc doesn't mean that we won't call it one of Manhattan's fastest-growing markets for luxury rental apartments. While it's unclear whether we should classify the apartments for rent in greater Hudson Yards as Chelsea rental listings, Garment District apartment rentals or Clinton rental listings, the fact remains that the bumper crop of new construction luxury rental buildings in the neighborhood, highlighted by superstar LEED-certified rental Emerald Green, have helped turn this formerly desolate stretch of Midtown West into one of the more interesting places to rent an apartment in Manhattan. With news that the second phase of The High Line will reach Hudson Yards' southernmost regions and that an expanded 7 train could make it increasingly accessible to the rest of the city, the future seems bright for Hudson Yards. In that sense, then, perhaps the announcement of an impressive new luxury rental apartment building in Hudson Yards shouldn't be too surprising. Still, by any standard, the just-finished Townsend -- a 569-unit luxury rental building at 350 West 37th Street -- is a pretty cool development, and another sign of how hot Hudson Yards has become.
