Forty Five Ten Announces Inaugural New York Store at Hudson Yards

NEW YORK, NY – February 6, 2018 – Forty Five Ten, the Dallas-based luxury boutique brand, announces its New York City debut with a location in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards slated to open in March 2019.

“There’s nothing more thrilling to me than finding new talent and undiscovered gems, and showcasing them in a way only Forty Five Ten can,” says Vice President of Creative and Women’s Fashion Director Taylor Tomasi Hill. “Hudson Yards will allow us to grow our New York market, yet keep our personal approach to every element of the business – it’s the only way that feels right to us.”

Forty Five Ten Hudson Yards joins the brand’s five other stores across Texas and California. The design concept for the Hudson Yards outpost, created in partnership with New York-based firm Snarkitecture, echoes Forty Five Ten’s inherent curiosity and regard for the unusual design element. The 16,000-square-foot, multi-section store presents the brand’s evolving selection of emerging and pillar designers in the worlds of women’s, men’s, home and beauty.

Kenneth A. Himmel, president and CEO of Related Urban, the mixed-use division of Related Companies, developer of Hudson Yards, said, “Forty Five Ten has transformed the luxury retail experience through its innovative approach to design and experiential shopping. We are thrilled to be the home of their first ever New York City store, where they will provide customers a uniquely elevated shopping experience. They are a visionary brand with an unparalleled reputation across the fashion world and join a growing collective of tastemakers, visionaries and creators who are bringing the best in design, fashion, beauty and dining to Hudson Yards, the new heart of New York.”

The New York location will be the second largest for the brand, following its flagship store in the heart of downtown Dallas, which was completed in 2016 succeeding the brand’s acquisition by Headington Companies in 2014. An emblem of the city’s urban renaissance, the Dallas flagship earned Forty Five Ten the reputation as an anchor of neighborhoods on the rise. The groundbreaking Hudson Yards development, situated in the fastest-growing cultural and professional neighborhood in Manhattan, is, therefore, a natural new address.

Katherine Greenberg, chief operating officer of Forty Five Ten, said, “New York is the shopping capital of the world, largely because of its diverse retail clientele and creative magnetism. Hudson Yards brings these worlds together in one energetic hub, which was a compelling draw for us. The Hudson Yards location is a logical next step for our brand, as well as an inspiring one, and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Nick Wooster, men’s fashion director of Forty Five Ten, said, “As an innovative neighborhood that seamlessly blends work, culture, and play, Hudson Yards is the ideal location for a new Forty Five Ten boutique. As a longtime New Yorker, and nearly two-year resident of Hudson Yards, the potential and unique experiences this neighborhood offers to Forty Five Ten are clear.”

Designed by the celebrated Elkus Manfredi Architects, The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards pays homage to the industrial past of the West Side. Steel and dark wood are featured prominently to reference the rail yards that once dominated the area and High Line, and natural stone floors and exposed support structures contribute to the rough-hewn, urban elegance of this vertical neighborhood. Signature restaurants and food experiences by Chefs and restauranteurs Thomas Keller, José Andrés, David Chang, Michael Lomonaco, Costas Spiliadis, rhubarb and D&D London will be featured. Shoppers will also have direct access to the High Line and an underground connection to the No. 7 Subway, making the Hudson Yards retail center one of the most connected shopping destinations in the city.
