55 Hudson Yards commands around $150 per square foot in asking rent — a figure grounded in a specific structural reality most tenants never think about. The building, at 1.3 million square feet, was constructed on top of an MTA ventilation tower, effectively piggybacking on existing transit infrastructure to deliver exceptional subway access in a new development context. That transit connectivity, combined with a purpose-built, Class A tower featuring a distinctive dark steel facade and rounded window detailing, positions it at the upper tier of the Hudson Yards submarket. For tenants in financial services, law, and technology who are benchmarking against Midtown South alternatives, the combination of new construction quality and built-in transit access justifies the premium. Hudson Yards continues to demonstrate that infrastructure investment at the submarket level translates directly into per-square-foot performance at the building level.

Welcome to the $100 Foot Club, the series where we check out New York's top office buildings.

I'm Or Lev-Cohen and founder of Trophy.

And the building behind me has this dark steel facade with the rounded windows.

And another interesting fact is that this whole podium is actually piggybacking on MTA infrastructure.

It was built on top of the subway station's ventilation tower, and then the tower was added on top of that.

So coming to around 1.3 million square feet, I'm talking about 55 Hudson yards.

And thanks to this amazing transportation access, a brand new build, they're able to get around $150 a square foot, asking rent.

So 55 Hudson yards, a cool day here, another great building.

This is the $100 Foot Club, and I'll see you on the next one.
