The Chelsea Enclave - 177 Ninth Avenue

Though many new developments boast outdoor space, only one can take pride in a back yard that’s over 100 years old: the Chelsea Enclave.  This luxury condop development is uniquely built on Chelsea’s historic General Theological Seminary grounds, and will share the central garden with the Seminary: quite a view for some lucky buyers.  Situated between West 20th and 21st on Ninth Avenue, the building benefits from the quiet charm of this little-known area of Chelsea and the eccentricity of Highline starchitecture only minutes away.

For those seeking an alternative to the ultra-modern, all glass high-rises so in vogue over the last few years, the Chelsea Enclave is a breath of fresh air.  While retaining the luxury and amenities one would expect at $2,000/sq.ft.*, this low-rise features a more intimate feel inspired by classic pre-war layouts and peppered with textured brick exteriors … the ultimate intersection of old and new.  This intimacy is maintained despite one of the largest landscaped roof decks in all of Manhattan based on it colossal footprint.

If you’re looking for pre-war charm in new construction that’s at once in the middle of and secluded from the bustle of Chelsea, the Enclave may be the ideal fit for you.
