The [[Chelsea Market]], located in a restored historic [[Nabisco]] factory and headquarters, is a festival marketplace that hosts a variety of shopping and dining options, including bakeries, restaurants, a fish market, wine store, and many others.<ref>Martinelli, Katherine.

Accessed October 2, 2019. "If walls could speak, the brick at New York's Chelsea Market would have more than a few stories to tell. Alphabet (the parent company of Google) purchased the building in March of 2018 for $2.4 billion—an earth-shattering figure even in New York City's real estate market—but this isn't a glittering, 21st-century beacon, a symbol of the ingenuity of Silicon Valley. In reality, the looming brick structure remains largely the same as it did more than a century ago, when it served as headquarters for the iconic snack company Nabisco."</ref>

The project's centerpiece is a mixed-use real estate development by [[Related Companies]]. According to its master plan, created by master planner [[Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates]], Hudson Yards is expected to consist of 16 skyscrapers containing more than {{cvt|1.27|e6sqft|m2}} of new office, residential, and retail space. Among its components will be {{cvt|6|e6sqft|m2}} of commercial office space, a {{cvt|750000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} retail center with two levels of restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a hotel, a cultural space, about 5,000 residences, a 750-seat school, and {{cvt|14|acres|ha}} of public open space.
