A new addition to the Manhattan skyline, Hudson Yards is a $25bn neighborhood home to a diverse array of shops and eateries, gardens, cultural institutions and even a hotel. Within this development, 15 Hudson Yards is a shimmering beacon soaring 88 stories high. LEED Certified Gold, the building has an impressive glass exterior. As a result, the views of the Hudson River, Manhattan, and cultural icons like Vessel and The Shed are maximized from every perspective.
Arguably the most impressive of the residences, Penthouse 87CD spans over 5,000 sq ft, making it the largest full-floor unit in the building. The previous owner purchased two units, combining and renovating them in order to create this expansive penthouse, which is on the rental market for $70,000/month, setting a new record for the neighborhood.
Upon entering the property, the grand foyer leads into the great room which spans the width of the building (300 ft). Immediately, the floor-to-ceiling windows captivate you and make the most of the sweeping city views. If you can tear your eyes away from the windows, you will find the tonal kitchen which is located just off this main living area.
Here, brushed stainless steel matte fixtures are paired with marble countertops and backsplashes to create a bright and elegant atmosphere. The kitchen also features a center island with bar seating, Miele appliances and custom cabinetry. And, most importantly, the spectacular New York City vistas are still front and center.

The four bedrooms and five bathrooms are divided between two wings to ensure privacy. The primary bedroom is spacious, boasting walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom with a deep soaking tub – the perfect spot for enjoying the city lights at night. The three additional bedrooms are all accompanied by plenty of closet space and en-suite bathrooms. Throughout the property, carefully chosen materials give a luxurious feel: think bespoke marble, natural oak and stone surfaces.
As well as the penthouse, future occupants will have access to over 40,000 sq ft of amenities, including a screening room, golf club, private dining room and residents’ lounge. But the most impressive feature can be found on the 50th floor. Spanning 3,500 sq ft, the state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities will excite both fitness buffs and non-fitness buffs alike.
Among the offerings, you will find a sauna, a steam room, studios for individual and group classes, and an aquatics center boasting a 75-ft pool with city and river views. Residents will also have access to an open-air terrace – an urban rooftop oasis in the middle of vibrant New York. With panoramic views from every angle, the bustle of Manhattan down below is the perfect backdrop for both intimate gatherings and larger events.
