Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Chelsea29, a 90,000 square-feet 21-story residential building and one of the few new developments in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, is designed by Hill West Architects with modern interiors by Whitehall Interiors. Completed in October 2017, it boasts 95 studio to two-bedroom rentals. The design is inspired by the area’s historic industrial lofts.
The building’s form is an updated take on the setback “wedding cake” aesthetic of the pre-war commercial high-rises that line the blocks of the Garment District. The façade has an elegant vertical emphasis and is organized into three bays of windows separated by vertical limestone piers that start at the base and rise to the top through a series of setbacks and terraces. Each pier is capped by a decorative T-shaped metal finial in a dark metal finish. A series of thinner mullions clad in a matching metal rise between the limestone piers to create each of the three window bays. Dark metal grills and limestone bars make up the spandrels between the windows.
The bold design translates to Chelsea29’s interiors, completed by local Whitehall Interiors, with oversized windows, open kitchens with stainless steel appliances and bathrooms with custom vanities and Duravit fixtures.
Chelsea29 boasts amenities such as a full time attended lobby, roof terrace with barbecue area, resident lounge, fitness center and parking. Its contemporary lobby is conveniently connected to Ninth St. Espresso. The building is centrally located near most major subway lines.
