Chelsea Mercantile - 252 Seventh Avenue

One of the largest residential conversions of a commercial property in Chelsea, the Chelsea Mercantile evolved from a factory in 1906, to four pre-war buildings which were gutted and adapted in 2000 into condominiums by Rockrose and Avinash K. Malhotra and Gruzen Samton. The building’s 354 apartments have 108 different layouts, creating a small building feel with large building amenities. Its impressively restored Rotunda Lobby and its fresh artistic aesthetic are an indication of the kind of lifestyle residents can expect.
