The Vanguard Chelsea is a 30 story, 300 unit rental completed in 2000 at Sixth Avenue and West 24th Street. Developed by Albanese Development Corporation and designed by Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron, it was part of the redevelopment of the former flower market district between Chelsea and the Flatiron District.
A red brick tower rises from a six story base and is set back from the avenue. Its limestone and bronze entrance opens to a lobby with patterned limestone floors, mahogany elements and bronze accents. Many apartments have city views, including Empire State Building vistas, while corner windows and western or southern exposures bring additional light to higher floors. Hardwood floors, granite counters and stainless steel appliances are common, and two bedroom layouts have in-unit laundry.
The building is LEED Platinum certified and has a 24 hour doorman and concierge, central air conditioning, a fitness center with an aerobics room and a 4,000 square foot landscaped terrace. A conference room, courtyard, garden, resident storage, bicycle room and building laundry add to the facilities, along with an attended garage and valet parking.
Madison Square Park is one long block east, and the High Line is several avenues west. Eataly, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are within several blocks, while the surrounding streets combine Chelsea galleries and restaurants with the shops and offices of the Flatiron District.
