Chelsea runs from the Hudson River to Avenue of
the Americas (Sixth Avenue to locals), is largely a residential area with a varied mix of high-and mid-rise buildings, brownstones
and industrial lofts. New luxury rental buildings have sprung up on Sixth Avenue and many new condo developments such as
555 W 23rd and Higline519 have been built and are being developed on the far west portion of Chelsea between 10th and 11th
Avenues. Chelsea has also become a hub for media and creative people and high energy businesses. Google recently opened
their New York Headquarters in Chelsea, along with numerous ad agencies and media companies and the new Frank Gehry designed
glass building on the West Side Highway opposite the Chelsea Piers will be the headquarters for media, e-commerce mogul Barry
Diller's Interactive Corp. The development of Chelsea Piers and the water park has also provided a huge economic boom to
the district. Chelsea Piers offers: ice-skating; rock climbing; equestrian endeavors; gymnastics, golf, two restaurants, a
marine center, health club, bowling facilities, biking, roller blading and television studios.

The High Line Apartments
The area of West Chelsea around 10th Avenue to 11th Avenue, from
16th Street north to 30th Street, could in the next few years see some of the briskest condo development of any area in Manhattan.
And much of that development will happen around the High Line. New condos with park views. A new
condo the Caledonia, a 26-story building, at 450 West 17th Street, at 10th Avenue, will have its own entrance to the planned
High Line park from the second floor. Prices for the 190 apartments range from $595,000 for a studio to more than $4million
for a penthouse. The Caledonia will be one of a small number of buildings with entrances directly to the High Line park.
The High Line runs through three of Manhattans most dynamic neighborhoods, Hells Kitchen, West Chelsea and the
Meat Packing District. Plans are underway to transform a 6.7 acre span of former elevated train track running 22 blocks into
an open park. If you are interested in purchasing or selling a Chelsea coop or condo apartment, townhouse
or loft please contact me.
