Larger than Hudson Yards, Smart VMC has created a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with tall residential buildings and offices, seamlessly connected to transit. Centered around 18 acres (7.2 ha) of green space and a community hub, it sets a new standard for urban placemaking, fostering connection, collaboration, and amenities within a well-designed, vibrant community.
