New York City is constantly evolving as new skyscrapers shoot into the sky.
And adding to the city's already dynamic skyline is Hudson Yards, a massive new development on Manhattan's far west side. The $20 billion project is a joint effort between real estate firm Related Companies and real estate investment, development, and management company Oxford Properties Group.
The first phase of Hudson Yards is slated for completion in the next four years. The complex, which will sit between 10th and 12th Avenues and run from 30th to 34th Street, will include public parks, office towers, shops, restaurants, and more.
It will be made accessible by an extension of the existing No. 7 subway line.
We recently got a tour of the construction site and renderings of what Hudson Yards will look like when it's complete. Keep reading to see what the future holds for Manhattan's West Side.
Located on the far west side of Manhattan, Hudson Yards is one of the biggest private developments in U.S. history. The 28-acre complex will sit above rail tracks that service New York City and is expected to revitalize an entire neighborhood.

The development is just one aspect of a major overhaul of Manhattan's West Side. In the past few years, luxury condos have sprung up alongside the High Line, the Jacob Javits center has been renovated, and the No. 7 subway line is being extended to 11th Avenue to accommodate the area's residents and tourists.
The first phase of Hudson Yards is the Eastern Rail Yard, which will have several residential and office towers, along with dozens of shops and restaurants to occupy an expected 65,000 visitors a day. The Western Yard will be mostly residential.
