15 Hudson Yards Condominium

15 Hudson Yards, Manhattan, NY 10001

Overview

A 285-unit Related tower at Hudson Yards with a 75-foot lap pool and a golf room. The building also holds 106 affordable rentals and a cultural center, and condo owners pay about $3.7 million a year toward the affordable section's loan.

  • Address: 15 Hudson Yards, Hudson Yards, Manhattan (originally 553 West 30th Street)
  • Plan: CD150325, accepted for filing in June 2016
  • Building: 73 stories and about 906 feet tall. Marketing floor numbers skip, so the top marketing floor, 93, is the 70th construction story.
  • Residences: 285 on floors 23 to 49 and 63 to PH 89, from one-bedrooms of about 839 square feet to four-bedroom duplex penthouses of about 5,162 square feet. Unit 23F goes to the board as the resident manager's apartment.
  • Other units: the Base Unit (about 106 affordable rental apartments) and three Cultural Facility Units for Culture Shed. None are offered for sale.
  • Storage: 34 storage lockers in the cellar ($55,000 to $275,000) and 28 wine lockers ($25,000 each) and 10 wine cellars ($200,000 each) on Floor 51, all sold as licenses
  • First offering: all 285 residences at about $1.73 billion in total, from $1.92 million for a one-bedroom to $32 million for the largest penthouses (sponsor offering prices, not sales). With the storage and wine licenses, the plan totals about $1.74 billion.

Closingsfirst and latest recordedFeb 11, 2019 – Jun 2, 2026

Sales recorded with the Department of Finance (ACRIS) through Sep 30, 2026: deeds, or transfer tax filings for a building on leased land, of $10,000 or more. A home's first sale since the plan was filed is the sponsor's closing; resales aren't counted. Closing prices are compared with the same home's Schedule A price, as first offered; a deed covering more than one home isn't compared. Amendments often change prices before a home closes, and a deed that includes parking or storage counts its full price. ACRIS records a sale weeks after closing, so recent contracts don't appear yet. Every building's sales.

The sponsor projected a first-year budget (calendar 2019) of about $14.7 million for the condo section. That includes about $2.9 million as the condo's share of building-wide costs. Monthly common charges, per Schedule A:

  • About $1,830 to $2,700 for one-bedrooms.
  • About $3,200 to $6,100 for two- and three-bedrooms.
  • About $7,200 to $14,200 for four-bedrooms, topped by the duplex penthouses on floors 88 and 89.

Notable lines:

  • Loan payment (PEBL): about $3.66 million, assuming a 5% rate and 20-year amortization. The sponsor caps the rate you'll pay for at 8% for the first five years.
  • Staff: about $3.6 million.
  • Utilities: about $1.6 million for common electricity, $790,000 for gas and $360,000 for water and hot water.
  • Hudson Yards association: about $1.85 million a year, paid only by condo owners, for the shared Hudson Yards grounds and private 31st Street.
  • Amenity operations: about $455,000.
  • Management fee: $213,750 to Related Hudson Yards Manager, a sponsor affiliate, on a three-year agreement with 5% yearly increases.

Good to know: there's no reserve fund for capital repairs. At closing you pay two months of common charges into working capital, plus a separate share of the $2.83 million cost of the resident manager's apartment (about $4,200 to $33,000, per Schedule A).

See how these names rank in our bathroom brands guide.

Floors, Ceilings and Windows

  • Wood or engineered wood floors over plywood with a sound mat.
  • An aluminum and glass unitized curtain wall with double-glazed insulated glass.
  • Each apartment is pre-wired with empty conduit for electric shades, which you buy yourself. Shades must have a white backing.
  • The four duplex penthouses on floors 88 and 89 have double-height great rooms, private elevators and gas fireplaces.

Laundry, Heating and Cooling

  • Every residence gets a Whirlpool washer and vented electric dryer. A common laundry on Floor 11 has three heavy-duty washers and three dryers.
  • Fan coil units heat and cool the apartments, fed by gas boilers on Floor 91 and chillers on Floor 49 (see heating and cooling systems).
  • Electricity is submetered to each unit. Gas for cooking, hot water and apartment heat is in the condo budget.

Amenities, Staffing & Transportation

The amenities fill three main floors plus a rooftop, and they're only for condo owners. The affordable apartments have their own gym, laundry, kids' room and party room (compare with amenities by building size).

Floor 50/Wellness

  • A pool of about 15 by 75 feet with two lap lanes, plus a whirlpool.
  • Men's and women's spas with saunas and steam rooms, treatment rooms, a beauty bar, a fitness club, a yoga room and a children's playroom.

Floor 51/Leisure

  • A lounge, café, club room, screening and performance room, and a business center.
  • Dining rooms with a catering kitchen, a chef's kitchen and dining area, a golf room, and the wine lockers and cellars.

Floor 90/Skytop and Elsewhere

  • Party rooms and an outdoor rooftop terrace with kitchens and barbecues. Party rooms can carry a fee.
  • About 195 free bike spaces and the heavy-duty laundry on Floor 11, a fee-based pet facility on the Lower Lobby, and two package rooms, one with refrigerated storage.

Good to know: the sponsor keeps the pet facility under a $1-a-year license and can rent it to an outside operator and keep the fees, even after it sells out. Owners can use the garage next door on Parcel C, subject to availability and that garage's charges.

Staffing and Services

The plan promises a concierge in the lobby around the clock and a doorman at least 16 hours a day. The year-one budget assumes:

  • 14 lobby staff dedicated to the condo floors (front desk, doormen, lobby and package attendants) and a Local 94 engineer.
  • Shared with the affordable section: a property manager, a resident manager, a superintendent, an administrative employee, 8 janitorial staff, 7 lobby attendants, 4 handymen and a Local 94 mechanic.
  • Most staff in Local 32BJ. The condo section's share of salaries and benefits comes to about $3.6 million.
  • Four passenger elevators for the condo floors, a service elevator and a lobby shuttle elevator.

Our common charges guide puts these numbers in context.

Tip: for the first year after the first closing, the plan only promises a lobby attended 16 hours a day and one working elevator to each occupied floor.

Transportation

  • Subway: 4 min walk to 34 St-Hudson Yards 7; 34 St-Penn Station A C E, 11 min

What's Specific to It

  • A loan payment in your common charges: through July 1, 2039, condo owners pay the debt service on $44.8 million of debt on the affordable "Base Unit." The first-year budget puts it at about $3.66 million, roughly a quarter of the condo section's costs.
  • Affordable rentals and a cultural center in the building: the Base Unit holds 106 rent-stabilized apartments on floors 16 to 23 for households earning up to 60% of area median income. Three Cultural Facility Units are expected to be run by "Culture Shed," a nonprofit arts organization with a movable shell that rolls out over the plaza.
  • A 20-year 421-a abatement: Schedule A projects real estate taxes of about $25 to $200 a month with the abatement, against about $2,000 to $15,700 without it. The full exemption runs 12 years, then phases out over eight more.
  • Built over the rail yards: parts of the building sit on a platform above 30 active Long Island Rail Road tracks, with caissons drilled into bedrock between the rail lines. The building also holds LIRR vents facing Eleventh Avenue.
  • The sponsor may never give up control: the sponsor can rent rather than sell units, so the plan warns that owners may never control the boards.
  • Utilities through a sponsor affiliate: electricity is billed through a shared Hudson Yards "Auxiliary System" run by a Related affiliate. The plan says rates may be higher than what that affiliate pays Con Edison.

15 Hudson Yards fills the block between West 30th and 31st Streets, Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, with entrances on both streets and the High Line along its south side. Its offering plan tells you who shares the building with you, what's in the apartments and what it should cost to run.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

  • You may carry the affordable section's costs: if the Base Unit's share of charges has to be capped under state law, condo owners pay the difference. Condo owners alone pay the Hudson Yards association charges.
  • Taxes depend on 421-a: the abatement needed a neighboring building, 35 Hudson Yards, finished by December 31, 2019. If 421-a isn't granted, you pay full taxes with no refund or price cut. New appliances must be Energy Star while the benefit lasts.
  • Noise from neighbors: the plan disclaims noise from the rail tracks and LIRR vents, events on the plaza and in Culture Shed's space, the "Landscape Sculpture" and the 24 million visitors a year it expects at Hudson Yards.
  • Sponsor's rights: the sponsor can rent unsold units without limit, and it only has to sell 15% of units to declare the plan effective. It can use common areas for sales events for 10 years.
  • Insurance through Related: the budget reflects Related's master insurance program. If the managing agent changes, coverage may shrink and premiums may rise sharply. Owners must carry $300,000 in liability and $3 million in umbrella coverage.
  • Flood zone and storage: the northwest corner is in Flood Zone AE, and the cellar storage lockers are below the design flood elevation. The plan says they may not stay dry.
  • No resale ads for a year: you can't list your unit for resale for one year after closing. Deposits are 20%, and the purchase contract is called an "Option Agreement."

FAQ

Does 15 Hudson Yards have a pool?

Yes. Floor 50/Wellness has a pool of about 15 by 75 feet with two lap lanes and a whirlpool, next to men's and women's spas with saunas and steam rooms, a fitness club and a yoga room, all reserved for condo owners.

What is the PEBL charge in the common charges?

It's a monthly payment condo owners make, through common charges, toward $44.8 million of debt on the building's affordable rental section. The first-year budget puts it at about $3.66 million, and it runs through July 1, 2039, even if that debt is paid off early.

Who else owns part of the building?

The Base Unit holds about 106 rent-stabilized affordable apartments on floors 16 to 23, with its own separate amenities. Three Cultural Facility Units are expected to be run by Culture Shed, a nonprofit arts center. The Base Unit owner and the cultural unit owner each appoint one member of the five-person condominium board.

Where this comes from: the building's offering plan (CD150325) as filed with the New York Attorney General, including its Special Risks, Description of Property and Specifications, Schedule A, Schedules B-1 and B-2, and the 421-a tax opinion. Prices are the sponsor's offering prices, not sales, and budget figures are the sponsor's first-year projections. Later amendments may change them. Updated October 2026.
