Overview of Caledonia at 450 West 17th Street

The Caledonia, a 24-story mixed-use development at 450 West 17th Street, opened in 2008 on the former site of the Chelsea Garden Center. Designed by Handel Architects with interiors by Clodagh, this Related Companies project uniquely combines 190 condominium apartments in the main tower with 288 rental units in an adjacent 8-story wing, including 58 permanently affordable units. While residents share an elegant lobby featuring Richard Serra-inspired design elements, cascading water features, and sandstone walls, separate elevator systems serve the condo and rental sections. The building's developers contributed $28 million to the High Line Park and positioned the property directly adjacent to the elevated park with direct access, while sitting across from the landmark Chelsea Market.

Apartments throughout the building showcase consistent high-end finishes, including bamboo plank flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium appliance packages featuring Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf cooktops, Viking ovens, and Miele dishwashers. Bathrooms are appointed with quartzite countertops, vessel sinks, and custom Watermark fixtures inspired by ancient Etruscan metals. The building offers over 180 different floor plans ranging from studios to expansive four-bedroom units, with some featuring private terraces up to 1,700 square feet. Notable units include corner apartments with dramatic city and Hudson River views, particularly on higher floors overlooking Hudson Yards and the Manhattan skyline.

The Caledonia's amenities rival those of luxury hotels, anchored by an on-site Equinox fitness center with kids' club (separate membership required), along with a landscaped sun terrace equipped with BBQ areas and outdoor showers. Additional facilities include a Zen meditation garden designed by HM White, children's playroom, pet spa services by Dog City, bicycle storage, parking garage, and a library lounge with fireplace. The building maintains 24-hour doorman and concierge services, plus business facilities including a conference room and residents' entertainment lounge.

What sets the Caledonia apart is its exceptionally low common charges for a luxury building of this caliber, combined with 421-a tax abatement benefits and its prime location at the intersection of Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, and West Village. The building's direct High Line access and proximity to Chelsea Market, Hudson River Park, and major transportation hubs make it one of downtown Manhattan's most sought-after addresses, representing the first luxury condominium built directly on the High Line corridor.
