Overview of Grand Chelsea at 270 West 17th Street

The Grand Chelsea at 270 West 17th Street is a 21-story condominium building completed in 1989. Designed by renowned architect James Stewart Polshek, the building contains 157 residences and stands prominently on the southeast corner of Eighth Avenue in Chelsea.

The building's distinctive architecture features a red-brick exterior with a grey-brick center portion facing the avenue, set upon a 7-story base with an attractive roofline featuring punched-out squares. Notable design elements include balconies with diagonal bracing, corner windows, and discrete air-conditioning units. The entrance along 17th Street is marked by large canopies in a two-story section of the base.

Residences range from one-bedroom units to larger three-bedroom homes, with many apartments featuring corner windows, open kitchens, and private balconies offering views of downtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building and Hudson Yards. The full-service building provides a 24-hour doorman, porter, superintendent, central laundry facilities, a second-floor sun deck, and bicycle storage. The pet-friendly building maintains a grand lobby with double-height ceilings.

Situated in the heart of Chelsea, the building offers convenient access to the High Line, Meatpacking District, and numerous dining and shopping destinations. Transportation is readily available via the A, C, E, L, 1, 2, and 3 subway lines nearby.
