In Midtown, Pritzker Prize-winner Foster + Partners’ Hearst Tower is a dramatic addition to the skyline. Downtown, its 19-story, 44-unit 551W21 stands out even on “Starchitect Row,” a stretch of Eleventh Avenue with designs by Jean Nouvel, Bjarke Ingels, and Frank Gehry. The asymmetrical tower with large windows framed in black and gold metal won the SARA NY Design Award of Excellence in 2016 and serves as a work of art in its own right on a street surrounded by the galleries that made Chelsea famous. The High Line is less than one block away.
Apartment #8B, a 2,245-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath condo with interiors by Foster + Partners, has just come on the market for $9.8 million. While CityRealty data reports that this is more than three times the average price for Chelsea, it is important to note that the apartment comes fully furnished with high-end pieces. The new owner will have access to such amenities as a gated port-cochere, double-height lobby, fitness center with spa, and lounge with fireplace and catering kitchen.
