NYC's Hudson Yards megaproject is one of the biggest real estate projects in the country in recent years, and one of the biggest in New York since Rockefeller Center was completed 80 years ago. The new neighbourhood opened on 15 March 2019 and consists of a shopping mall between two office towers among others; the full complex is still under construction.

The retail complex, dubbed 20 Hudson Yards, is a 720,000 sqft (approx. 219 456 sqm) luxury shopping mall spread over seven floors. The new 190,000 sqft (approx. 58 000 sqm) Neiman Marcus (the first one in NYC) occupies the top three floors of the space. There's also a major dining complex, with restaurants run by celebrity chefs like Thomas Keller, David Chang, Michael Lomonaco, Costas Spiliadis and José Andrés. In total, the space features 100 stores and 25 food and beverage offerings. Not all the space has been leased yet.

Perhaps the most impressive element of the complex is the Vessel, a lustrous, sculptural bauble made up of 154 interconnected staircases.
