Yves is a 14-story, 38-unit condominium at 166 West 18th Street on the corner of Seventh Avenue in Chelsea, designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and completed in 2008. The building stands out with its distinctive blue glass façade and striking setbacks beginning at the 8th floor, accented by stainless-steel bands and piers arranged in three symmetrical "U"-shaped configurations. The site has an interesting history, having replaced a four-story red-brick building that originally housed a Presbyterian mission school from 1874, later became a horse stable, and finally Le Madri restaurant before being demolished in 2005.
Apartments throughout the building feature consistent high-end finishes, including Valcucine all-glass kitchen cabinetry and countertops, Sub-Zero refrigerators with wine storage, Miele appliances, and rich walnut flooring. All units have floor-to-ceiling windows, and bathrooms are appointed with Duravit sinks and fixtures, with many featuring deep soaking tubs surrounded by zen pebble stones. The building's triplex penthouses are particularly notable, offering dramatic internal staircases, 20-foot+ ceilings, private terraces, and expansive roof decks with outdoor kitchens and panoramic city views including the Empire State Building.
Yves offers an impressive amenity package for a boutique building, including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a 48-foot lap pool (one of the few indoor heated pools in downtown Manhattan), fitness center with sauna and hot tub, and a landscaped communal roof terrace. The location provides easy access to multiple subway lines and places residents within walking distance of the High Line, Hudson Yards, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea's renowned dining and cultural attractions.
