55 Hudson Yards (also known as One Hudson Yards or One Hudson Boulevard) is a future tower just outside the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project. Located in Chelsea, Manhattan, it will add a combined four million square feet (370,000 m2) of space to the Hudson Yards project, along with 50 Hudson Yards, even though the two buildings will be located outside of the redevelopment site itself.
Formerly, the area was planned to be the site of the now-canceled World Product Center, at the same site as 55 Hudson Yards.
Both 55 Hudson Yards and the never-built World Product Center were planned to be located on the site of Copacabana, which was at the site between 2001 and January 20, 2007. Located right above the 34th Street subway entrance on the Hudson Park and Boulevard, the site where 55 Hudson Yards will be located was also formerly the site of a FedEx World Service Center building.
The World Product Center (also World Product Centre) was a building designed by Gary Barnett that was scheduled to be built at the same site on the east side of 11th Avenue, between West 33rd and 34th Streets. Having more than 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2) of space, the building would have been used as a hospital, medical center, and a lab. The 1,011 feet (308 m) tall building was expected to start construction in 2009 and be complete by 2011, a completion date later pushed to winter 2013. The building would also have allowed visitors to visit and study the Lab and Medication studies that go on in the building which will allow more than 2 million visitors annually. The World Product Centre would be one of the world’s first permanent healthcare marketplace and education center. A 60-story, 1,500,000-square-foot (140,000 m2) tower at 555 West 33rd Street, World Product Centre (WPC) would have served the unique commercial and educational needs of healthcare suppliers and providers. Medical companies would have work together to improve the global healthcare industry, including medical devices, diagnostics, technology, pharmaceuticals and healthcare services. The WPC would have also showcased medical technologies from the healthcare industry, including medical devices, diagnostics, technology, life sciences, and services. The Complex's homepage was still operating, displaying a projected completion date of 2013, as of June 2014[update].
