Property Description for 536 West 29th Street
The John H. Young Studio: 536 West 29th Street
Located in West Chelsea, moments away from New York City's new tech sector in Hudson Yards, this rare fully commercially zoned building was built in 1904 and originally housed the studios of renowned theater set designer John H. Young of Ziegfeld Follies fame.
Masterfully restored and repurposed throughout the years, 536 West 29th Street is now a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece that is the epitome of "urban zen" in the nexus of West Chelsea's vibrant art gallery district and Hudson Yard's new tech corridor and neighborhood.
Built 25 ft x 65 ft on a 98.75 ft lot, this building was designed with two entrances on West 29th Street highlighting ultimate versatility leading to two separate spaces with dramatic 32 ft and 19 ft high ceilings across an architecturally impressive and columnless 25 ft wide building structure. Over sized windows and skylights provide generous northern light throughout with floor-to-ceiling steel casement windows overlooking a tranquil south-facing private garden with a centerpiece Cherry Blossom tree accentuated by 22 ft tall custom steel walls.
Currently configured as the perfect live/work space, this building includes various open working spaces with a separate studio area, atrium, great room with chef's kitchen, library, private garden, terrace, and den, all accentuated with bedroom/sleeping areas throughout. Exposed architectural elements throughout this building add to its incomparable character and charm, creating the ultimate urban refuge in the middle of one of Manhattan's most exciting and rapidly evolving locations. This building offers limitless potential easily accommodating commercial/office use with amply spaced co-working spaces, an impressive art gallery/foundation, studios, or residence.
Significant FAR is available, please consult your own architect or zoning consultant.
Currently, West Chelsea / Hudson Yards is home to prominent TAMI (Technology, Advertising, Media and Information) companies including Facebook, Google, Amazon, and BCG. Other prominent companies include L'Oreal, Peloton, and Tapestry. All of this complemented by convenient access to the newly extended MTA trains at Hudson Yards, heliport, The Shed cultural center, The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, a newly opened Whole Foods, Equinox Hotel, new access points to The High Line, West Chelsea art galleries, and an upcoming food hall in The Starrett-Lehigh Building featuring a new restaurant by chef and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson.

Quick Profile
The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood.
Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.
While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.
Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises.
Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.
Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
