This "most popular building in Chelsea" is a "totally loaded pre-war loft conversion" combining three buildings into 354 condominiums with "high ceilings" and "great amenities" including 24/7 doorman, gym, roof deck, concierge, and even maid service; "superb management" keeps things running smoothly in this "very well run building" where "units rent out fast"; the "prime location" in "trendy and hip Chelsea" puts residents steps from Whole Foods ("in bldg"), the High Line, Madison Square Park, and "all Chelsea, Flatiron and Park Avenue South restaurants," plus easy access to 1/2/3/W/R subways and crosstown bus for the ultimate "lifestyle living."
