Related Cos. and Oxford Properties Group, developers of Hudson Yards, will shell out $700 million to complete the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/regions\/mid-atlantic\/related-cos-hudson-yards-breaks-ground-on-manhattans-26-acre-site\/\">Hudson Yards will feature more than 17 million square feet of commercial and residential offerings and 14 acres of public open space<\/a>. And it all needs a platform to serve as a foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe construction of the platform is the crucial step towards reimagining the West Side and connecting two of Manhattan\u2019s most thriving neighborhoods \u2013 Chelsea and Hell\u2019s Kitchen,\u201d a spokesperson for Related told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. Indeed, Hudson Yards is being touted as a game-changer, a development that will dramatically alter and revitalize the West Side of Manhattan and serve as a model of responsible development.<\/p>\n<p>To bring the gargantuan project to fruition, two platforms are required to bridge over 30 active Long Island Rail Road train tracks, three subsurface rail tunnels operating Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains, and a new Gateway tunnel that is presently in the construction phase. The Hudson Yards buildings will rise through the platforms, which will span 75 percent of the Eastern and Western Rail Yards. It\u2019s an engineering challenge that is being masterminded by structural engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti and the Hudson Yards\u2019 general contractor Tutor Perini.\u00a0 Three hundred caissons will support the Eastern Platform, which will consist of 25,000 tons of steel and 14,000 cubic yards of concrete for a total weight exceeding 35,000 tons.<\/p>\n<p>Already, the Eastern Rail Yards portion of Hudson Yards is taking shape.
