Over a million square meters dedicated to offices, housing, hotels, sports, culture, shopping … Between towers and green spaces, the Hudson Yards project is unique to this day. This innovative fully connected complex in New York is also built under LEED “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” certification. Rainwater recovery, heating-cooling system, ventilation, diversity of flora and fauna …
The objective: to reduce energy consumption by 30% compared to a conventional construction. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which manages all public transport in New York City, has extended subway line number 7, so that it goes to the heart of the eco-district. But the operation goes further than the simple extension of transport, reports Le Figaro. The geographic location of the Hudson Yards should encourage people to travel in a sustainable manner. This complex should become the start or finish of the High Line, New York’s most famous pedestrian and vegetated alley.
The development of Hudson Yards is expected to generate more than 23,000 jobs.
