Hudson Yards earns award for eco-friendly design
BY ROBERT POZARYCKI
The fi rst phase in the development
of Manhattan’s newest neighborhood,
Hudson Yards, has earned
high environmental marks for its selfsuffi
cient construction.
Related Companies and Oxford
Properties Group celebrated on Sept.
25 news that the Eastern Yard development
received “LEED Neighborhood
Development” Gold certifi cation from
the U.S. Green Building Council. The
award recognizes the area’s green infrastructure,
community design and
overall innovation.
“Building a neighborhood from the
ground up in the heart of New York
City gave us the opportunity to create
a blueprint for the future of sustainable
urban living,” said Hudson Yards President
L. Jay Cross. “Being designated
as the fi rst LEED Gold neighborhood
in Manhattan underscores our commitment
to responsible urban design,
building a greener future for New Yorkers,
and establishing new benchmarks
for cities globally.”

by two modern cogeneration plants.
The effi cient electrical system is said to
save 25,000 megatons of carbon dioxide
emissions annually; Related Companies
said that’s equal to the annual
emissions of 5,100 cars.
The development also includes a
stormwater reuse system in which
rainfall is collected from rooftops and
public spaces, stored in a 60,000-
gallon tank and then pumped through
an irrigation system to water more
than 200 trees and 28,000 plants in
the neighborhood’s Public Square
and Gardens.
Hudson Yards’ park is also considered
the “smartest park” in the
city, with a layered approach to root
growth, nutrient delivery, temperature
regulation, irrigation and drainage.
Once completed, according to Related
Companies, Hudson Yards will
include more than 1,000 units of
newly-created or preserved affordable
housing along with tens of thousands
of jobs within its commercial and
business spaces.
It’s expected to pump nearly $19 billion
annually into the city’s economy,
and generate $1 billion in city and
state tax revenue.
