Which was built first, 55 Hudson Yards or New York World Building?
55 Hudson Yards 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 4000000 sqft 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.
New York Life Building (Kansas City, Missouri) The New York Life Building is a 12-story, 54.86 m high-rise in the Library District of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The brick and brownstone tower, which was completed in 1890, generally is regarded as Kansas City's first skyscraper and was the first building in the city equipped with elevators. It was commissioned by the New York Life Insurance Company, which also used the same design for an identical building in Omaha that was completed in 1889. Several buildings around the world share its name. A centerpiece of the Library District neighborhood, the building is located amidst other, historic structures: it is across Ninth Street from the Kansas City Club and just down Baltimore Avenue from the Central Library.
