The construction site at Hudson Yards
Hudson Yards is a mammoth development in New York City - the likes of which hasn't been seen since the unveiling of Rockefeller Center in the 1930s.
The $25 billion complex covers an entire avenue and stretches four city blocks. At the far edge lie the Eastern and Western Railyards, whose train tracks run below a raised platform that supports the budding structures. Each of the buildings revolves around an expansive public square with a lush landscape of trees and woodland plants.
The project is currently undergoing phase one - 11.9 million square feet along the Eastern Yard - which will be mostly complete by March 2019. From there, it will move on to the second and final phase - 6.2 million square feet along the Western Yard - which is set to be finished by 2024. This second phase of development includes the construction of a public school, along with additional office, residential, and retail space.
The project is difficult to keep up with, even for developers. According to the senior project manager at Related Companies, Geoff Butler, the construction site changes every day.
But for those who have yet to peer inside the complex, the layout and development timeline is mostly theoretical.
Business Insider got the rundown of how it's progressing. Take a look below.
