The City of New York is home to the latest mega-development, dubbed Hudson Yards. After seven years of construction, the buildings will begin seeing their first tenants. This ultra-luxe development cost over $25 billion and is touted as is the nation’s most expensive building complex ever.

Its centerpiece is its eye-catching stairway sculpture, dubbed The Vessel, that looks like a massive honeycomb. Touted to the latest and greatest landmark in New York.

“This is going to be to New York City what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris,” said Jeff Blau, CEO of Related Companies said of the Vessel.
