The Hudson Yards Redevelopment project includes a rezoning of the Far West Side into a new neighborhood called Hudson Yards, an extension of the New York City Subway's 7 trains to the 34th Street station at 11th Avenue, and a renovation of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

The project a joint venture by the New York City Department of City Planning and Metropolitan Transportation Authority to encourage development on Manhattan's far West Side along the Hudson River in Manhattan, New York City.

The project was developed after the withdrawal of the West Side Stadium for the New York Jets (and the city's bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics) over the MTA's John D. Caemmerer West Side Yard.

In January 2005, the New York City Council approved the rezoning of about 60 blocks from 28th to 43rd Streets; in 2009, after the stadium failed to win state approval, the West Side Yard was similarly rezoned. As rezoned, the Hudson Yards area will have 25,800,000 square feet (2,400,000 m2) of Class A office space, 20,000 housing units, two million square feet (190,000 m2) of hotel space, a 750-seat public school, one million square feet (93,000 m2) of retail and more than 20 acres (8 ha) of public open space.

In May 2010, the MTA leased the air rights over the railyard for 99 years to a joint venture of Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, which will build a platform above both the eastern and western portions of the yard on which to construct the buildings.
