About The Heywood, 263 Ninth Avenue
This very handsome, 10-story building was erected in 1913 and for decades was occupied as a printing house.
In 2005 it was converted to 50 condominium loft-style apartments by Henry Justin of H. J. Development Corporation, a developer who the year before converted another industrial property nearby at 130 West 30th Street into the Cass Gilbert condominium.
With its central Chelsea location at 26th Street, it is convenient to many art galleries, boutiques and restaurants. In addition to the many other neighborhood attributes there is good public transportation at 23rd Street.
The building has four duplex ground-floor apartments and four of the five penthouses are duplex units.
Apartments have 12- to 13-foot-high ceilings and very large windows as well as four-inch-wide white oak flooring, central heating and air-conditioning and washers and dryers. Kitchens have white oak cabinetry, Sub-zero refrigerators and limestone countertops. Master bathrooms have marble countertops and tub decks with large soaking tubs.
