Founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line fought to preserve and transform an abandoned freight rail line into a public park at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition.
Today the park receives over 7 million visitors a year. Friends of the High Line organise more than 450 public programs and activities supporting the communities of the High Line.
In addition to overseeing the maintenance, operations and public programming for the park, Friends of the High Line work to raise the essential funds to support more than 98 percent of the park’s annual operating budget.

There is a powerful dynamic between the streets of New York and the High Line, a layered civic realm that has developed over generations and in many iterations. 520 West 28th by Zaha Hadid Architects conveys the differing layers within this contextual relationship, applying new ideas and concepts to create the latest evolution of the site’s rich history.
520 West 28th’s split levels are expressed within the interlocking chevrons of its hand-crafted steel façade that shields residents from the elements, while its detailed workmanship continues the venerable tradition within New York’s historic architecture of enhancing the public realm.
