Hudson Yards – the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States, as well as the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center – opens March 15th, 2019.

Hudson Yards is a multi-billion dollar complex that covers an entire avenue and stretches four city blocks and represents a new neighborhood on Manhattan’s West Side (at the end of the High Line, which wraps around it). The unprecedented mixed-use development consists of more than 100 shops and restaurants (including New York City’s first Neiman Marcus), 18 million square feet of commercial space, 4,000 state-of-the-art modern residences, 14 acres of open space, a 750-seat public school, and the world’s first Equinox hotel.

“We’re thrilled to be expanding our presence in the US market at such a remarkable retail destination as Hudson Yards among the best of the best New York City has to offer,” said Brian Duffy, CEO of The Watches of Switzerland Group.

Watches of Switzerland is situated in a 6,500 square foot prime ground floor location, flanked by Rolex and Patek Philippe in-store boutiques, at 20 Hudson Yards, between the Highline and Plaza entrances, and will be open for business beginning next Friday, March 15th.
