Building: 200 West 16th Street

200 West 16th Street stands out as one of the four iconic “Chelsea Corners” buildings in lower Chelsea. It was the first of the four distinguished developments by visionary developer Henry Mandel and was designed by esteemed architects Farrar & Watmough. Farrar & Watmough harmoniously blended the Jazz Age and Gothic Revival styles creating a building with a visually striking and architecturally significant facade adorned with variegated orange brick, limestone and terracotta. The lobby is a testament to its historic charm boasting vaulted ceilings and the original polychrome tile decor from 1931.

Real estate mogul Henry Mandel’s grand plan was to rebuild 7th Avenue from 14th Street to 23rd Street with four sister edifices at each corner but the development was only partially finished due to the Great Depression. 200 West 16th Street, at the corner of 7th Avenue and West 16th Street, is one of the only four completed properties and stands at 19 stories tall with 175 apartments.

Each apartment is bathed in beautiful natural light streaming through extra large windows and offers ample closet space. Many units retain their original pre-war details adding character and timeless elegance to the living spaces.

This full service building boasts a 24-hour doorman, full-time porter, handyman, package room, laundry facilities and a live-in resident manager. Multiple and out-of-state guarantors are welcomed. Public transportation is easily accessible with the A, C, E, F, M, L, 1, 2 and 3 trains all within two blocks of 200 West 16th Street.

Nestled in the heart of lower Chelsea, at the crossroads of the West Village, Greenwich Village, Meatpacking, Flatiron and Union Square neighborhoods, the location provides unparalleled access to New York City’s trendiest restaurants, coffee shops, fitness studios, nightlife, beautiful parks and art galleries. 200 West 16th Street truly puts you at the epicenter of it all.
