Overview of The Chelsea Enclave at 177 Ninth Avenue

The Chelsea Enclave, completed in 2010 at 177 Ninth Avenue, is a 7-story residential condop building integrated into the historic General Theological Seminary complex in Chelsea. Developed by the Brodsky Organization and designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, the building replaced the 1960s-era Sherrill Hall with a modern interpretation that respects the seminary's Gothic Revival architecture through matching red-brick façades and thoughtful design elements.

The building contains 53 residences featuring interiors designed by Alan Wanzenberg, ranging from one-bedroom units to expansive penthouses with private terraces. Many apartments offer views of the seminary's private garden known as 'The Close,' and feature high-end finishes including Wolf ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and marble bathrooms with radiant heating.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to the seminary's block-long European-style garden, a unique amenity in Manhattan. The building's comprehensive service package includes 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, and valet parking garage. Additional amenities feature a fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and a landscaped roof deck with grilling stations.

Penthouse units are particularly notable, with some offering duplex configurations and extensive private outdoor spaces. One penthouse features 2,008 square feet of wrap-around terrace, while others include private roof terraces ranging from 570 to 893 square feet. The building's varied floor plans accommodate different lifestyle needs, with many units featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple exposures.

The Chelsea Enclave operates as a condop, combining cooperative ownership structure with condominium rules. Its location provides easy access to the High Line, Chelsea Market, the Meatpacking District, and Chelsea's renowned art gallery district. The building's integration with the seminary complex creates a unique urban sanctuary, offering residents a rare combination of historic context and modern luxury.

In 2011, the Brodsky Organization further expanded its presence in the area through a $47.5 million deal with the seminary, acquiring additional properties including three townhouses and converting 422 West 20th Street into residential units.
