Top Five Buildings This Week in Chelsea
The rich and diverse Chelsea neighborhood is easily one of the most desirable places to live in NYC right now.

There's also plenty of attractions like Chelsea Piers, the Rubin Museum of Art, and the newly built High Line Park, which is situated on a long stretch of elevated railroad tracks. Chelsea has become increasingly popular for creative and technology professionals due to its close proximity to Silicon Alley, Google's offices between 15th and 16th streets, and Penn Station.

First on our list is a 5 bedroom, 6+ bathroom penthouse located on the High Line in the late Zaha Hadid's curvaceous 520 West 28th Street. For $50M, it is the most expensive listing in Chelsea and also one of the most expensive listings in Manhattan. Unit PH37 is a rare five-bedroom home spanning 6,853 square feet with a 2,218-square-foot terrace and two private balconies. Some notable features include an expansive double corner Great Room measuring over 1,250 square feet with a fireplace, an eat-in kitchen designed by Hadid and Boffi with a sculptural marble-clad island, oversized motorized windows, a private elevator, and finally, a three-story sculptural staircase. Occupancy is expected sometime this year.
2. Walker Tower, 212 West 18th Street, #PH3

Compass
This next listing comes from the architecturally-stunning and classic Walker Tower. The full-floor penthouse is surrounded by 360-degree views of Manhattan and occupies 6,978 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. During the renovation in 2012, acclaimed interior designer Bradley Bayou kept the residence's grandeur but infused it with modern-day luxury. Some of its many notable features include river views, floor-to-ceiling windows, three entertaining spaces, a full-service wet bar, custom lighting by Jean De Merry, and wood-burning fireplaces. The eat-in kitchen comes equipped with custom Smallbone of Devizes cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking appliances, and a 75-bottle wine cooler. Apparently, $42M also gives you heated toilet seats, who knew?
