New York's High Line - the beloved elevated park built along abandoned train tracks on Manhattan's west side - will soon offer visitors a walking tour of nearby buildings by some of the world's best modern architects.

It already boasts Italian architect Renzo Piano's popular design for the new Whitney Museum, a luxury condo tower designed by British designer Norman Foster, and Frank Gehry's sail-like IAC building. An undulating, futuristic condo building designed by the late Zaha Hadid in partnership with Mexican architect Ismael Leyva is slated for occupancy early next year.

In 2019, Danish favorite Bjarke Ingels will add his touch to the architectural lineup with a pair of twisted towers.

Called The Eleventh due to the building's location between Manhattan's 10th and 11th avenues, the $1.9 billion development will house 240 condominiums and a 137-room luxury hotel. Take a look.
