Today I thought I would share with you this cool feature in the New Hudson yards area, to me, it looks like a huge beehive and when I looked it up online that's what it is called by some the Human beehive of stairs and it cost around 150 Million to be built.
it was designed by British designer Thomas Heatherwick.

Here is a shot of it from another angle, it is part of what will be a park area and is a set of multiple stairs climbing up. In total there are 154 Staircases and 80 landings.
From what I understand it is near completion and I for sure will be going to check it out when it is open to the public in 2019
What do you think of it,? if you were visiting NYC would you go and climb the stairs?

And a final shot to give it a sense of scale against the new Hiighrises in Hudson yards.

Want to have your post on the map too?
Depends on how high even going down can be a challenge. After about 50 floors up in any building I feel edgy if it is windy. You know the building move.
Yeah I know others like that it doesnt bother me, I guess the idea would be you can go up as high as feels good for you I will let you know when I go there when it opens
I definitely would climb it but payimg $150 million for stairs like that ?? Just seems like 150 mil could be spent at well worth more projects.
Still it is really cool looking but just unnecessary.
Thanks for the great shot @tattoodjay :)
Yes I totally agree with you, but since they have built it I will for sure go and check it out
Certainly a very interesting looking structure; not sure I'd want to climb up there, though. I'm sure it'll be much photographed, though... the cynic in me ponders what they are planning to do to keep people in "unstable" mental states from jumping...
that's a good point i had not thought of, I will be visiting there when it opens and no doubt will take photos
That is really wild. Upvoted

Isnt it just a lot of money that could have been spent better i guess but I will still go and check it out
Really cool. I would be there with a camera. Maybe even climb stairs lol
I will be going back when it opens to climb it and get more photos
Haha no wouldn’t want to climb stairs! Wooo! Too many high buildings!
That beehive building looks like deadpool’s lair haha 😆
LOL yeah I see what you mean about deadpools lair, I will climb it someday
