Overview of The Marais at 520 West 23rd Street

The Marais is a 15 story luxury condop built in 2002 by Hudson Companies and designed by Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron. The red brick building with a two story beige brick base contains 107 apartments and sits directly adjacent to the High Line in West Chelsea's gallery district. As a condop, it operates as a co-op with condo rules, meaning no board approval is required and residents enjoy unlimited subletting, pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, and pets.

Most apartments feature open kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite or stone countertops, hardwood floors, and generous closet space. South facing units are particularly desirable, with many offering private balconies or terraces overlooking the High Line and city skyline. Two bedroom layouts typically follow a split bedroom configuration for privacy, while many units include in-unit washer/dryers. The penthouse stands out with French oak wide plank flooring, a wine refrigerator, and a spa bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and separate glass shower. 

Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, a landscaped courtyard garden, bike storage, and laundry facilities. The rooftop deck offers panoramic views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline along with a barbecue grill. The location provides immediate access to the High Line, with Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Market, Hudson Yards, and the Meatpacking District all within walking distance, along with numerous art galleries, restaurants, and multiple subway lines.

Broker & Buyer Comments

"Adjacent to the High Line" in the "heart of the gallery district", this 15-story Chelsea condop built in 2002 wins fans with its "prime" West Chelsea location and "flexible" ownership rules including "no board approval", "unlimited subletting", and "pied-a-terre" purchases; the "full service" building boasts a doorman, concierge and live-in super, plus a "furnished roof deck", "landscaped courtyard", garage and bike room, while units feature terraces or balconies; "pets allowed" and "high financing available" (up to 90%) sweeten the deal, though buyers should note it's a "land lease building" and review terms accordingly; with "keyless entry" and proximity to multiple subway lines, it's a "great location" for gallery hoppers and High Line strollers alike.
