About the High Line

The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure on Manhattan’s West Side. It was built in the 1930s to remove dangerous trains from Manhattan’s streets. No trains have run on it since 1980. Friends of the High Line formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. FHL’s mission is to preserve the structure for reuse as an elevated public open space. The team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro is now at work on a design for the High Line’s public landscape. Construction began in spring 2006. The first phase is projected to open in 2008.

Crain’s came out with their annual 40 Under 40 list yesterday, and the High Line’s own Robert Hammond made the cut.

He’s profiled on the site with a quick video (and enough studio photos to turn heads over at the Daily Intelligencer.)

Way to go, Robert. Loved the interview and the glamor-shots.
