55 Hudson Yards (originally known as One Hudson Yards or One Hudson Boulevard) is a skyscraper in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City, just outside the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project. It and 50 Hudson Yards will add a combined {{convert|4|e6sqft|m2}} of space to the Hudson Yards project, even though the two buildings are located outside the redevelopment site itself.

Formerly, the area was the planned site of the now-canceled World Product Center.{{cite web|title=World Product Center|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=78982|publisher=SkyscraperPage.com|access-date=November 1, 2008|archive-date=May 26, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526015426/http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=78982|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=World Product Center|url=http://www.worldproductcentre.com/assets/pdf/building.pdf|publisher=World Product Centre|access-date=September 3, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090920024114/http://www.worldproductcentre.com/assets/pdf/building.pdf|archive-date=September 20, 2009|url-status=dead}} Both 55 Hudson Yards and the never-built World Product Center were planned to be located on the site of Copacabana, which was at the site between 2001 and January 20, 2007.{{cite news|title=Night Spots Confront Residential Growth And Higher Rents|first=Mireya|last=Navarro|work=The New York Times|date=August 4, 2001|page=B1|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/04/nyregion/now-playing-clubland-hard-times-night-spots-confront-residential-growth-higher.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309190315/http://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/04/nyregion/now-playing-clubland-hard-times-night-spots-confront-residential-growth-higher.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm|archive-date=March 9, 2016}} Located right above the 34th Street subway entrance on the Hudson Park and Boulevard, 55 Hudson Yards was also formerly the site of a FedEx World Service Center building.{{cite web|url=http://therealdeal.com/blog/2008/12/08/demo-contracts-near-for-hudson-yards-park/|title=Demo contracts near for Hudson Yards park|work=The Real Deal|date=December 8, 2008|access-date=June 4, 2014|last=Pincus|first=Adam|archive-date=May 1, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140501091236/http://therealdeal.com/blog/2008/12/08/demo-contracts-near-for-hudson-yards-park/|url-status=live}} 55 Hudson Yards was completed by early 2019, with the first tenants occupying the building by April.{{cite news|url=https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/2019/04/16/tech-meets-open-space-and-views-at-cooleys-new-hudson-yards-home/|title=Tech Meets Open Space—and Views—at Cooley's New Hudson Yards Home|work=Law.com|last=Tribe|first=Meghan|date=April 16, 2019|access-date=May 21, 2019|archive-date=September 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200915114419/https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/2019/04/16/tech-meets-open-space-and-views-at-cooleys-new-hudson-yards-home/|url-status=live}}

Original plans

The "World Product Center" was a cancelled project that would have been among the world's first permanent healthcare marketplaces and education centers, serving commercial and educational needs of healthcare suppliers and providers. The project featured a {{convert|1011|ft|m}} tall tower designed by Gary Barnett with up to {{convert|1.5|e6sqft|m2}} of office space proposed.

The project would have allowed healthcare professionals, students, and researchers to interact with the general public, with an expected 2 million visitors annually. The proposed building included a fully digitized auditorium, conference and educational facilities, media centers, traditional office space, a medical lab, healthcare facilities, and a Consumer Health Pavilion. The Pavilion would have offered the general public guided tours, interactive forums, and information about health literacy and healthcare careers. The World Product Center would have hosted trade shows and other events featuring medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare associations to support healthcare commerce. These events would have showcased medical technologies from the healthcare industry. Participating firms would have received permanent showrooms and exclusive access to all of the center's resources and amenities.

Construction was scheduled to begin in 2009 with a completion date of 2011,{{cite web|url=http://www.downtownexpress.com/de_285/undercover.html|title=Under Cover|date=October 17–23, 2008|work=Downtown Express|access-date=June 4, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923220341/http://www.downtownexpress.com/de_285/undercover.html|archive-date=September 23, 2015|url-status=dead}} but the World Product Center ultimately withdrew from a tenancy deal with would-be developer Extell Development Company.{{cite web|url=http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2008/11/10/extell_tells_medical_industry_not_to_go_back_to_ohio.php|title=Extell Tells Medical Industry NOT To Go Back to Ohio|last=Arak|first=Joey|date=November 11, 2008|work=Curbed NY|access-date=June 4, 2014|archive-date=March 3, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303005812/http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2008/11/10/extell_tells_medical_industry_not_to_go_back_to_ohio.php|url-status=live}}

When the World Product Center was canceled, the site of 555 West 33rd Street became available for development again. The {{convert|710|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}}, 51-story 55 Hudson Yards building was designed to take its place, although the building is an office building rather than a medical building.

The building, at 11th Avenue's east side between 33rd and 34th Streets, is located to the north of 35 Hudson Yards, and on the west side of the Hudson Park and Boulevard, adjacent to 50 Hudson Yards and the entrance to the new 34th Street New York City Subway station.{{cite web|url=http://chelseanow.com/2014/02/hudson-yards-platform-soon-to-be-underway-sparking-eastern-rail-yard/|title=Hudson Yards Platform Soon to be Underway, Sparking Eastern Rail Yard|work=Chelsea Now|last=Spokony|first=Sam|date=February 26, 2014|access-date=June 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625092329/http://chelseanow.com/2014/02/hudson-yards-platform-soon-to-be-underway-sparking-eastern-rail-yard/|archive-date=June 25, 2014|url-status=dead}} Located on the site of the canceled World Product Center,{{cite web|first=Jessica|last=Dailey|url=http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/12/05/design_changes_revealed_for_two_hudson_yards_towers.php|title=Design Changes Revealed For Two Hudson Yards Towers|publisher=Curbed NY|date=December 5, 2013|access-date=January 24, 2014|archive-date=July 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702122510/https://ny.curbed.com/2013/12/5/10167386/design-changes-revealed-for-two-hudson-yards-towers|url-status=live}} the {{convert|1.3|e6sqft|m2|adj=on}} building, designed by Eugene Kohn and Kevin Roche, cost {{US$|1 billion|link=yes}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/veteran-team-designs-tower-1401846491|title=Veteran Team Designs Tower|work=The Wall Street Journal|date=June 3, 2014|access-date=June 4, 2014|last=Slatin|first=Peter|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222234214/http://www.wsj.com/articles/veteran-team-designs-tower-1401846491|url-status=live}} The building is the first collaborative effort between the two firms.{{cite web|url=https://ny.curbed.com/2014/6/4/10091820/55-hudson-yards-designed-as-a-basic-fundamental-sculpture|title=55 Hudson Yards Designed As 'A Basic, Fundamental Sculpture'|last=Dailey|first=Jessica|date=June 4, 2014|publisher=Curbed NY|access-date=June 28, 2018|archive-date=January 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160108225319/http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2014/06/04/55_hudson_yards_designed_as_a_basic_fundamental_sculpture.php|url-status=live}} In 2013, Extell was paid by The Related Companies in exchange for the 55/One Hudson Yards building, in a deal that allowed Related to develop the site.

Construction was originally not set to start until at least half of the building was pre-leased, but was fast-tracked to 2015. Because of the 7 Subway Extension construction underneath the building, the foundation had already been built; the 55 Hudson Yards building sits over a ventilation building and a station entrance for the extension.

Also, the building would have had a modified beige façade, as well as a {{convert|710|ft|m|adj=on}} flat roof. The building sits on an area bounded by 11th Avenue, Hudson Park and Boulevard, and 33rd and 34th Streets. The lowest ten floors span {{convert|44000|ft2|m2}} each while the floors in the stories above each measure {{convert|28000|ft2|m2}}.

Early projections placed the building as having either 47 or 50 floors, but final plans amounted to 51 stories: the top floor is a mechanical floor, with office space occupying the fifty floors below it.[http://www.hudsonyardsnewyork.com/office/55-hudson-yards/availabilities/availability-floor-plans Floor Plan: 55 Hudson Yards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140718050112/http://www.hudsonyardsnewyork.com/office/55-hudson-yards/availabilities/availability-floor-plans |date=July 18, 2014 }}. Retrieved June 12, 2014.

In May 2014, renderings for the building changed for the second time. The building's third plan depicted a facade with a mostly metallic overlay and a base larger than the rest of the building.
