The luxury rentals include spacious layouts and “condominium-quality” features. Apartments boast oversized, soundproof windows that provide an abundance of natural light and incredible city views. The residences include custom solar window shades and Bosch washers and dryers.
According to its website, the building’s facade of stone, metal, and glass was inspired by the area’s industrial lofts. Located in between downtown and uptown hot spots, Chelsea29 is within walking distance to the 1, 2, 4, A, C, E, F, B, and D subway lines.
The amenity-rich building features an on-site espresso cafe, 24-hour attended lobby, and an outdoor space on the roof with sweeping Manhattan views. The resident’s lounge can be found on the lower level and sits next to the Technogym-equipped fitness center and bicycle storage.
Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the affordable apartments at 221 West 29th Street until November 15, 2017. Residents of Manhattan Community Board 5 will be given preference for 50 percent of the units. Complete details on how to apply are available here (pdf).
