7-story shopping and retail area completed in 2015, linking the two signature towers of 10 Hudson Yards (to the south) and 30 Hudson Yards (to the north). Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, it is clad in glass and steel. A captivating interior space, 20 Hudson Yards features an 85-foot high central atrium defined on its west side by a custom-designed glass feature wall by James Carpenter. Clad in inverted “J”-shaped glass panels, the 300-foot-long, 90-foot-high wall provides spectacular views of the 6-acre public space and offers a visual connection between interior and exterior. The north and south sides of 20 Hudson Yards feature triple-height circulation spaces with direct connections to the lobbies of adjacent towers.

Its eastern façade serves as the primary ventilation mechanism for the below rail yards, rendered as a series of meticulously detailed perforated steel panels above the ground floor, with one large cutout area featuring a recessed "window" space. The ground floor has stainless-steel piers that are recessed between the areas of glass curtain wall in steel framing. Near the north end is a wide loading dock. The south end of the east facade has a glass section on the upper floors as well, set into a beveled metal surround, wrapping around the southeast corner.

Neiman Marcus was the center's flagship store, until it closed in 2020. Their vacant space, more than half of the mall, was converted to offices for Wells Fargo in 2024.
