New York State released a “draft scope of work” document as part of the rezoning process of Hudson Yards which sets September 2015 as the earliest completion date of the eight towers to be built by Related Companies. The document also states that zoning changes will allow a greater number of apartments than Related had originally intended, construction of platform over the Long Island Railroad rail yards will begin in 2010, a 200,000 square foot outpatient health care facility may be a part of the railyard’s commercial building and that a revised street grid will be installed. Additionally, New York City has planned to build below-market rate housing on 10th Avenue between 48th and 49th streets and on 9th Avenue between 53rd and 54th streets with completion projected between 2016 and 2018.
