Hudson Yards is transforming Manhattan's west side and creating an en-tirely new, vibrant neighborhood. It is the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center was built in the 1930s and is the larg-est private real estate development in U.S. history. The site is a planned mixed-use neighborhood featuring more than 1,6 million square meters (ca. 17 million square feet) of commercial and residential space, more than 100 shops, a collection of restaurants, approximately 4,000 resi-dences, a unique cultural space, 57.000 square meters (14 acres) of pub-lic open space and a 750-seat public school. It is anticipated that more than 24 million people will visit the area every year.
Jeff T. Blau, chief executive officer of Related Companies, said, "We are thrilled to partner with Allianz on 10 Hudson Yards. The tower has been an unqualified success attracting a diverse set of marquee tenants and has been widely recognized as one of the best office locations in New York City. Allianz is one of the world's most respected real estate inves-tors and its commitment further evidences the value we have created through our focus on best-in-class architecture and planning and meticulous execution."
