The area far west of midtown Manhattan was once a quiet part of town. Subway lines didn't stretch there, and many of the apartment buildings were modest in size.

But in the last decade, developers have been building on the area, and turning it into a shiny new neighborhood full of upscale restaurants, luxury condos, and fancy boutiques. Hudson Yards will have over 25 million square feet of housing, retail, and offices - the largest and most expensive real estate development in American history.

One of the latest buildings to open in the Hudson Yards neighborhood is The Eugene, the tallest rental skyscraper in New York City. (It's part of the Manhattan West development by Brookfield Properties, which is separate from the official $20 billion Hudson Yards project by developer Related Companies.)

Designed by NYC-based architecture firm SOM, the Eugene features 50,000-square-feet of shared amenity spaces, including a full-size basketball court. Though some parts of the building won't be complete until July 2017, the first resident will arrive in mid-March, according to Maria Masi, VP of development at Brookfield.

Take a look inside the Eugene, where monthly rent can cost up to $10,300.
