The bedroom serves as a peaceful sanctuary. It offers a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom fitted with stone floors and a Kohler cast-iron bathtub, creating the ideal retreat for relaxation. A separate powder room with a large laundry closet, positioned off the foyer, is appointed with polished chrome Dornbracht fixtures, adding a touch of elegance for guests.

Designed by the world-renowned architects Foster + Partners, 551 West 21st Street delivers a truly elevated living experience. Residents are welcomed by a gated motor court lined with a 20-foot green wall, leading into a jaw-dropping 34-foot-high, double-height lobby crowned with a grand chandelier.

The fitness center is complete with spa areas, a yoga studio, and locker rooms. Residents can also enjoy a private lounge, a golf simulator, and secure bike storage. There is a parking garage onsite, and a dedicated service entrance facilitates easy deliveries and staff access.

Chelsea | Manhattan

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.
