Building: Yves Chelsea

Founded in 1996, New York City-based Ismael Leyva Architects PC has grown into an internationally recognized architecture, interior design, and urban planning firm with offices in the Middle East and Central America. Since the establishment of the firm, Ismael Leyva Architects has built a portfolio of diverse award-winning projects that offers clients responsive design addressing social, environmental, functional and aesthetic requirements.

The Yves Chelsea was built true to these tenets. This 14-story, 41-unit condo building offers open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, gourmet kitchens, high-efficiency appliances, and highest-end luxury finishes throughout. The building’s top-tier amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge service, full-sized pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, private storage, and professionally landscaped rooftop terrace.

The Yves Chelsea sits on the site of an old horse stable that was demolished before neighbors could organize a landmarking drive. This convenient location is just steps away from Manhattan’s finest restaurants, outdoor markets, nightlife, galleries, museums, performance venues and several subway lines.
