Carter's Review
The continuing gentrification of the Chelsea area in the 1980's stretched down to 14th Street in this Post-Modern project designed by Ted Reeds Associates for Alan Sackman, James Valentino and James Hefelfinger and others. Completed in 1987, this 132-unit, 15 story condominium project was a significant addition to the otherwise rather bland West 14th Street streetscape. As Elliot Willensky and Norval White noted in their 1988 book, "The A.I.A. Guide to New York City," (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich), the Sequoia is a "Post Modern apartment house displaying too many materials, but with remarkable cornices at the 7th floor" where its tower is setback. The lower part of the building's base is treated differently and quite attractively with considerable architectural detailing. The massing of the tower is quite nice with a protruding center bay and balanced balconies and the building is a good addition to an important street that separates Greenwich Village from Chelsea that was in need of upgrading.
