Biggest ever

Construction is underway on what's being billed as the largest private real estate development in the history of the US, Hudson Yards, on Manhattan's West Side. All told, the 28-acre $1.2 billion project will include 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space, more than 100 shops, 20 restaurants and about 5,000 residences. According to a spokesperson for the development, an undisclosed number of Chinese EB5 - or visa-for-investment - backers are involved in the mega-project. Photo by Elizabeth Wu / For China Daily
