Hudson Yards is open to all, but not for all
that Hudson Yards is not only for the rich, pointing out that the retail and dining options include Shake Shack and H&M.
Still, much of the development is occupied by more highfalutin tenants, such as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, Dior, Fendi, and restaurants from Michelin-starred chefs. This is to say nothing of the growing list of commercial occupants, which include a litany of financial industry giants such as BlackRock, KKR, Wells Fargo and Point72 Asset Management, or the pricey condos that range from a few million to tens of millions of dollars.
The physical space Hudson Yards has created is ostentatious and energizing, but the social space it has created is illusory and inauthentic. A truly equitable space, one that honors the values of eclecticism and imperfection that have made New York great, would be less concerned about matching the grandeur of Dubai or Singapore and more focused on matching the dynamism of New York City culture.
Yes, Hudson Yards has several expansive public spaces, but many of those spaces are on the west side of the development—the side that faces away from the city.
