A rare opportunity to command a full-building presence in the heart of Chelsea — directly across from the legendary Chelsea Hotel. With 55,362 RSF including soaring 16’ ceilings on the penthouse floor, this is one of the few remaining opportunities in Manhattan to consolidate your entire organization under one roof. Ideal for a school, non-profit headquarters, medical facility, fashion house, AI company, or any organization seeking a flagship identity building in one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The landlord will consider leasing floors individually.
