Now that Hudson Yards is becoming a shopping center instead of the Jets stadium, the developers are trying to lure a department store to anchor the 720,000-plus-square-foot space, which will be split between five or six levels. They’ve released a rendering of the building, which will also feature office space, parks, apartments, and a “cultural center” — basically, it’s the Time Warner Center, only on the West Side Highway instead of Midtown, and in a more space-age-y building. Both Nordstrom and Bloomingdales have been pitched to set up shop there, although Nordstrom is believed to be a more likely candidate, given their recent interest in securing a Manhattan location. But regardless of who takes the space, will people really trek to the hinterlands of Penn Station to go shopping?
The Hudson Yards Mall Will Look Sort of Like a Giant Spaceship, Apparently
