30 Hudson Yards offers panoramic views, outdoor terraces and direct access to the subway lines. The property is home to The Edge, an outdoor observation deck, and to the City Climb at Edge, an outdoor staircase allowing visitors to ascend to the tower’s top floor. The skyscraper is in Midtown Manhattan and 30 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
