Designed by Heatherwick Studio, Vessel is comprised of 154 intricately-interconnecting flights of stairs, 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings. Vessel will rise from a base that is 50 feet in diameter and will widen to 150 feet at the top, offering the public a one-mile vertical climbing experience and some of the most unique views of the West Side. Vessel is being fabricated by Cimolai S.p.A. in their Monfalcone, Italy facility. 

Vessel is expected along with the entire Public Square and Gardens in the Fall of 2018. The Public Square and Gardens at Hudson Yards will eventually house more than 28,000 plants, 200 mature trees, woodland plants, perennial gardens and a 200-foot-long fountain that will mirror the flow of a river.The Public Square and Gardens at Hudson Yards, designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects in collaboration with Heatherwick Studio, Source by Hudson Yards New York, images Courtesy of Forbes Massie-Heatherwick Studio, Related-Oxford.
