The skyscraper offers a unique feature: a triangular observation deck known as The Edge. Located on the 100th floor, The Edge includes a bar and event space on the adjacent 101st floor. The deck, at a height of 1,100 feet, is the world's second-highest outdoor observation platform with transparent flooring, trailing only the Cabo Girão cliff skywalk in Madeira, Portugal.
30 Hudson Yards was previously the headquarters of WarnerMedia. Following a 2022 merger with Discovery, Inc., the new entity, Warner Bros. Discovery, remains a tenant. The building also serves as the headquarters for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., an American global investment company.
