Foundation in for Heatherwick-Designed Condos Straddling the High Line

Rendering of 515 West 18th Street via Related

Tuesday, Aug 28, 2018 By Michelle Merritt

Between the recently resurrected Pier 55 and Hudson Yards’ Vessel, another Heatherwick Studio design is underway: The foundation is now in place for 515 West 18th Street, where a 21-story mixed-use condominium developed by Related will rise. The site was purchased for $205 million at the end of 2014, and occupancy is estimated for 2021.

The rigorous grid of the “bubble-wrapped condos” is a contemporary interpretation of classic Chelsea warehouse style. The windows have been described as modern takes on the bay window, but Architectural Digest sees elements of Heatherwick’s Cape Town Silo Hotel and Zeitz MOCOAA Museum in them.

515 West 18th Street will rise 18 stories to be the larger building in a two-tower development (the second is 10 stories) linked by 17,000 square feet of retail and gallery space underneath the High Line. Residents of the 181 one- through four-bedrooms apartments will have access to a spa, fitness center, entertainment and social lounges, and 175 parking places.

Residents will also enjoy amazing views of the High Line, the Hudson River, and what is shaping up to be a highly imaginative West Chelsea skyline. The XI, a two-tower complex designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, has just topped out one block away.
