Property Description for 551 West 21st Street, 17-AB

With 11ft+ ceilings and full 360-degree views of the Hudson River and the full Manhattan skyline comes the entire 17th floor of Norman Foster's masterpiece at 551 West 21st Street. Comprising over 8,100 square feet of light-filled space, this rare offering gives the new, lucky owner the ability to combine two massive apartments into one of the most significant homes downtown. The grand scale and proportions of the space along with the timeless interior design are the work of Lord Norman Foster. Floor-to-ceiling windows and four incredible exposures, west to the Hudson River, south to the Statue of Liberty, north up the Hudson past Hudson Yards and the Midtown skyline, and east across the Manhattan skyline, flood the residence with light and incredible sunsets, sunrises, and glittering night views of our city. Bring your architect, or simply keep it in the current format, where both homes are already in move-in condition, and you can live in one and rent the second home out, or simply keep it for family and guests. Discreet yet striking once you enter the ground, 551 West 21st Street, designed by Foster + Partners, is Norman Foster's first residential project in the United States to evoke serenity and calm in a bustling metropolis. Residents arrive through a private gated drive court into a 34-foot double-height lobby anchored by a sculptural chandelier. This luxurious building offers a full-time doorman, concierge, porter, and live-in resident manager, alongside a state-of-the-art fitness center with spa, sauna, and steam, a residents' lounge, children's playroom, and bicycle storage. Onsite car valet service for an additional cost is also available. Set in the heart of West Chelsea's Gallery District, with the High Line, Hudson Yards, Hudson River Park, Little Island, Chelsea Market, Faena, and the Heliport just moments away, this opportunity offers endless ways to live and enjoy all that is great about downtown living. Taxes listed with primary condo tax abatement.

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.
