Broker & Buyer Comments

This "totally loaded" pre-war loft conversion in prime Chelsea earns raves for its "superb management" and "great amenities," including a gym, roof deck and coveted Whole Foods in-building. The "high-ceilinged" residences occupy one of Chelsea's largest commercial-to-residential conversions, while the "prime location" offers easy access to Flatiron dining, Fifth Avenue shopping and the High Line. "Lifestyle living" defines this full-service building, complete with doorman, concierge, and valet services, making it "most popular" among Chelsea's luxury offerings.
