Standard Hotel and the High Line

(The High Line)

The High Line: it used to be an elevated railroad, serving the Meatpacking District in the West Side of Manhattan. The line was disaffected long time ago. Now it is a new public park here: an elevated park, in full development. There will be here elevated hotels and art galleries. The view of the surroundings is phenomenal. This is New York, the city of great architects and extreme businesses!

High Line's Infrastructure

(The Standard Hotel on the High Line)

The Standard: this is the first hotel built over the High Line. Other elevated buildings will follow. The old trackage of the elevated railroad serving the Meatpacking District in Manhattan became a great public space, in full development.
