Hudson Yards, New York City's imposing new planned development featuring luxury apartments, retail, and entertainment, opens March 15 in west side neighborhood Chelsea. It's being billed as the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States.
The 28-acre project has been in the works for 12 years and under construction for six. Spearheaded by real estate company Related Companies, Hudson Yards cost $25 billion and includes 4,000 residential units, several superstar-chef restaurants, a multidimensional arts venue (called the Shed), meticulously planned green space, and 720,000 square feet of retail.
New York magazine reports this week that Hudson Yards is altogether "physically vaster, more populous, and more expensive than any private development in the country."
Retail inside the self-contained neighborhood swings from high-end (Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Van Cleef & Arpels) to fast fashion (Zara and H&M) to luxury service depots including a new Sally Hershberger salon.
But jewelry and watch retailers make up a huge slice of the retail pie at Hudson Yards, and several of the most coveted brands in both categories have erected outposts here.
Excluding brands that manufacture fashion jewelry (Madewell, H&M), here's the complete list of jewelry and watch retailers at the new development:
Cartier The Hudson Yards Cartier shop is the brand's first location on the west side of Manhattan, and according to its website was "inspired by New York and rooted in French savoir faire."
Forty Five Ten Dallas-based luxury retailer Forty Five Ten is opening its first NYC store in Hudson Yards—a 16,000-square-foot, multisection space that features fashion, beauty, jewelry, and more. "Hudson Yards will allow us to grow our New York market, yet keep our personal approach to every element of the business—it's the only way that feels right to us," said Taylor Tomasi Hill, the retailer's vice president of creative and women's fashion director, in a statement last year.
