Casa, 155 West 21st Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 155 West 21st Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, 15-story, mid-block apartment building at 155 West 21^st Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Chelsea is known as Casa and has 109 rental units.

It was erected in 2014 by Arlou Parking Corporation and designed by the Stephen B. Jacobs Group, which also did the adjacent apartment building at 151 West 21^st Street that is notable for its lacy base and deep blue brise soleils.

Andi Pepper did the interiors.
