35 Hudson Yards is touted as the "more upscale" neighbor of 15 Hudson Yards.

• I got a sneak peek of 35 Hudson Yards, the tallest residential building in NYC's new $25 billion neighborhood.
• In addition to its luxury residences that start at $5 million, 35 Hudson Yards will include a 60,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Club and Spa and SoulCycle, an Equinox hotel, retail spaces, and restaurants.
• Designed by the same architect who designed One World Trade Center, it's marketed as the "more upscale" version of 15 Hudson Yards, the neighborhood's first residential tower to open.
• With its ultra-luxe design and wild amenities, 35 Hudson Yards seems to be setting a new standard for luxury city living.

Hudson Yards, New York City's new $25 billion neighborhood that's the most expensive real-estate development in US history, officially opens to the public on March 15.

Two days ahead of the grand opening, I got a sneak peek of 35 Hudson Yards, the 92-story luxury tower that's the tallest residential building at Hudson Yards. The mixed-use tower will include luxurious two- to six-bedroom condos starting on the 53rd floor, as well as a restaurant, retail space, a 60,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Club and Spa and SoulCycle, and a branded Equinox hotel - the first of its kind.

"Our tower, 35 Hudson Yards, with its combination of retail, office, hotel and residential uses, is a city within Hudson Yards, exactly in the way Hudson Yards itself is a full mixed-use city within Manhattan," architect David Childs said in a press release.

35 Hudson Yards is touted as the more upscale neighbor of nearby residential tower 15 Hudson Yards, which I toured back in January. In that building, condos were priced between $4.3 million and $32 million.

At 35 Hudson Yards, residences start at $5 million. The high end of the currently priced units is $28.5 million, but the penthouses haven't yet been priced.
