Groundbreaking on $15 Billion Hudson Yards Project in Manhattan Begins
Developers, realtors and local officials on Tuesday held a groundbreaking ceremony for Hudson Yards’ first office tower -- a 48-story building scheduled to be finished by 2015. The project will create an estimated 23,000 construction jobs and space for more than 40,000 people to live or work, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The completion of Hudson Yards will take about a dozen years. It entails the construction of an $800 million platform to cover the existing rail tracks.
