The Chelsea Enclave is a 7-story, 53-unit condop that operates as a condo. Built in 2009 and developed by the Brodsky Organization with interiors by Alan Wanzenberg, it is one of West Chelsea's premier residential buildings featuring white glove services which include: 24-hour attended lobby with doorman and concierge services, live-in super, porter staff, on-site garage, fitness center with yoga and Pilates studio, children's playroom, bike storage, private storage, and lushly landscaped roof terraces with dining areas, sundecks with chaise lounges, barbecue grill, and panoramic views of the city and High Line. The Chelsea Enclave also benefits from direct access to the large semi-private park that sits in the middle of the block and is shared by the Theological Seminary - known as the "Close," the block-long landmarked garden was once an apple orchard in Clement Clarke Moore's 19th century estate. The building is pet friendly.
