With a rooftop terrace that boasts a waterfall, gazebo, spa, and an outdoor kitchen, the penthouses at 133 West 22nd might be the epitome of elegance for Chelsea’s future development, but each of the other 99 residences has its own appeal as well. The curved glass facade is a new addition to the 13-story pre-war structure, showing that traditional beauty can mix with that of the modern world. The large lobby, manned 24-hours, copies the curved style of the building’s outside, but stainless steel columns and Wenge wood walls bring a practicality to the room. 133 W.22nd is a home for those whose creative nature wants free reign. The 9′4″ ceilings allow the spirit to explore, while the view from those floor-to-ceiling windows brings the majesty of Chelsea into full focus. Residents need to bring their creativity with them, however, as the rooms are intentionally bare. This doesn’t mean to imply that the condominiums don’t offer residents sophistication. The kitchen’s black lava countertops and black/stainless-steel appliances create a modern appeal. Each kitchen also has a Bosch cook top oven a dishwasher and a Marvel wine cooler.

133 West 22^nd offers amenities that are quite unusual for the area. This is one of the only developments around to offer an outdoor pool, including an outside dining area. Also one of a kind is the rooftop terrace fully equipped with cabanas, a dining area, a wet bar and grille area. But the area also has its share of typical destinations, so those residents who don’t have the patience to stay at home can visit one of the many nearby dining and shopping locations, including Starbucks, Ben&Jerry’s and Barnes and Noble.

The designers of 133 West 22^nd have turned an old walk-up apartment building into a luxury setting for those who appreciate the area’s creative potential. The floor plans range in size from 763-2380 square feet, some with as much outdoor space as in. Many floor plans also offer an extra room that can be used as an office or den. Expected to be finished by the fall of 2008, the price of the 1 bed 1 bath at 133 West 22^nd is $965,000. Other units can be as high as $5.7 million.
