NEW YORK CITY- Hudson Yards in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood is considered not only one of the largest and newest commercial developments to come online in recent years, but an innovative and tech-driven hub for real estate developers to watch for years to come. Attaining its holy grail status of tech began with the build-out of a simple foundation that’d allow easy pairing of different tech solutions for changing consumer needs, according to a CREtech New York 2019 panel called “An In-depth Look at the Tech Behind the Largest New Urban Development in the World.”
