4 unusual facts about Eleventh Avenue


Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project

Bordering on Eleventh Avenue are two mixed-use buildings, 15 Hudson Yards and 35 Hudson Yards, which were previously known as the D and E Towers, respectively.

Originally part of New York City's bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, the New York City government had announced its intent to extend the 7 train to a station at 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue, adjacent to Javits Center to help facilitate development on the air-rights of the West Side Yards.

Eleventh Avenue runs through the site, and will split the redevelopment project into two phases.

The existing right-of-way from 30th Street will be extended into the Hudson Yards site, running parallel to 30th Street to a point past Eleventh Avenue and will be rehabilitated in a manner similar to the opened sections of the park.
