A handsome, narrow, 12-story building with 10 condominium apartments is planned for 132 West 26th Street in Chelsea.

The mid-block development is seeking approval from the New York City Board of Standards & Appeals for a zoning variance.

Arpad Baksa is the architect and Jack Ancona is the developer.

At a hearing yesterday at the board, several residents of the adjacent building at 130 West 26th Street spoke in opposition to the plan.

The building has an interesting facade that vertically alternates every several floors the window treatment.

The board requested more financial information and scheduled a continuance of the hearing for January 24.
