A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at SOMA would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
SOMA is a narrow Chelsea condominium organized around ten loft-style residences. Keyed elevator access opens directly into apartments, and large windows span the principal living rooms. Upper duplexes add double-height space and terraces, while conventional full-floor homes occupy the middle of the building.
The building dates to the mid-2000s residential development cycle along West 22nd Street. Its original lobby design used bamboo and a reflecting pool, carrying a planted, water-focused entrance treatment into a compact street frontage. The residential program emphasized open interiors and private outdoor areas.
A fitness room, storage and remote entry service provide shared facilities within a small association. These services occupy a limited portion of the building; most of its usable space is within the individually owned homes.
Architecture and unit composition
The conversion added six stories to an existing four-story building. The resulting ten-story structure received DOB sign-off in 2017, after the condominium had entered the market.
The main loft floors include two-bedroom layouts with open kitchens and broad living-and-dining areas. Their floor-to-ceiling windows face toward West 22nd Street, while rear portions of the plans can include south-facing terraces. Elevator entry leads directly into the apartment's circulation space.
Penthouse duplexes place internal stairs beside double-height living rooms. Large glazed openings bring light through both levels, and private terraces extend the upper homes outside the principal enclosure. Their internal height and staircase distinguish these layouts from the single-level loft floors below.
A lower duplex adds another configuration to the building's apartment mix. Across the condominium, private outdoor areas differ in size and position, and renovations have changed some original room divisions. Laundry is installed within residences, with dedicated laundry rooms in some layouts.
Gas fireplaces occur in the loft interiors. Their placement, together with the keyed elevator and perimeter windows, forms part of the fixed arrangement around which owners have reconfigured kitchens, closets and bedrooms.
Building operations
The entrance uses virtual-doorman service. A package closet supports deliveries, and the fitness room and resident storage provide functions outside the apartments. The building's ten residential tax lots are individually assessed in Tax Class 2C.
Direct elevator access is a material part of the service model. The lift supplies each upper residence's primary arrival route, and its maintenance is shared across a small number of owners. Private terraces sit alongside common building elements, so their decking, drainage and exterior enclosure may have different maintenance allocations.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
