On Manhattan's Far West Side, a $25 billion neighborhood called Hudson Yards is set to be the biggest real estate development in American history. The project's developers expect full build-out by 2024.

Beyond its new residential skyscrapers, gardens, restaurants, shops, and offices, Hudson Yards will also feature a public landmark that appears to be inspired by M.C. Escher.
