35 Hudson Yards

35 Hudson Yards, also known as Tower E, is a tall building in Manhattan’s West Side. It has both apartments and a hotel. The building is part of the big Hudson Yards project, which is changing the area near Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, and Penn Station.

As of November 2022, 35 Hudson Yards was the 28th-tallest building in the United States. It stands out in the city’s skyline and is close to many popular places.

History

The 35 Hudson Yards building was first shown to the public in the summer of 2011. It is part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project and is located at 11th Avenue and West 33rd Street. The design of the building changed from a round shape to a rectangle in December 2013.

Construction started in 2015 and finished in 2019. The building officially opened on March 15, 2019, with the hotel opening a few months later in June. In July 2023, it was reported that about half of the apartments in the building had not been sold yet. In November 2025, Mori Trust bought a large part of the building for $540 million. This included the hotel and some office space.

Architecture

The building was designed by David Childs from the firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. This firm also handled the structural engineering, with help from other experts like Jaros, Baum & Bolles for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing needs.

Originally planned to be 900 feet tall, the design changed in 2013 to a taller, cylindrical shape about 1,000 feet high. Inside, you’ll find stylish designs with special wood and stone details.

The building includes hotel rooms, a special lounge area, and medical offices. The first floor is the lobby, which has artwork from artist Helena Hernmarck. There are shops on some floors, and part of the building is used by Equinox Fitness for their offices and a large gym. The hotel part has many rooms and services, and the top floors have fancy homes. There are also fun places like a yoga studio and a golf simulator. In 2019, a restaurant named Electric Lemon opened on the 24th floor.
