New 12-story condo building planned for Chelsea
By Carter Horsley   |   From Archives Tuesday, February 21, 2006
Ginsberg Development Corp., LLC, has acquired a development site at 241-5 West 19th Street in Chelsea between Seventh and Eighth Avenues where it plans to erect a 12-story residential condominium building.

The planned structure will contain 19 apartments and a 2,000-square-foot community facility.

The units will range in size from about 1,100 to 2,000 square feet and six of the units will have outdoor space.

The property was acquired for $13.5 million from West 19th Street Development LLC.

According to Roland A. Solarz and Eric M. Anton, senior managing directors of Eastern Consolidated, Inc., who represented the seller, and Mary Willison, also of Eastern Consolidated, who represented the buyer, the sale equated to $443 per F.A.R. foot and is "believed to be a record for a mid-block site south of 42nd Street."

The site, which was formerly occupied by a four-story commercial structure and a three-story residential structure, was delivered vacant to the buyer.
