The Clement Clarke is one of Chelsea's most convincing loft conversions — a building that keeps its pre-war soul while delivering a full-service condominium. It rose in 1911 as a twelve-story industrial loft on West 22nd Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, built to the heavy, light-filled standard of the era's manufacturing district. In 2008 it was gut-renovated and converted to 51 loft-style condominium residences under a design by architect Stephen Alton, a renovation that preserved what makes a real loft worth owning — beamed eleven-foot ceilings and oversized windows — while bringing the building's systems and services fully up to date.
For buyers, the result is the combination that holds value in Chelsea: authentic pre-war loft scale, a genuine full-service operation, and condominium ownership — financing flexibility and no co-op admissions board — all on a quiet, central block.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior is the original 1911 loft: masonry, large industrial windows, the substantial massing of a building made to carry industrial loads. The 2008 conversion turned that frame into 51 residences with the proportions buyers prize — dramatic eleven-foot beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and the open layouts that loft floor plates allow. Finishes were delivered to a high contemporary standard in the gut renovation, and many homes carry washer/dryers. As with any conversion, individual residences vary in layout, exposure, and the depth of subsequent renovation, so the home itself is where value lives.
Building operations
The Clement Clarke runs as a full-service condominium, with a staff that is generous for a building of its size: a 24-hour doorman, a full-time superintendent, a porter, and concierge service. The building offers a rooftop terrace, a bike room, and resident storage. Washer/dryers are permitted in residence and the building is pet-friendly. As a condominium, financing is flexible and purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package and interview.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00797-7507) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
As a condominium, the purchase path is the lighter one — a right-of-first-refusal in place of a co-op board, flexible financing, and the customary openness to pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment ownership. Subletting is freer than at a Chelsea co-op. The key here is the home: ceiling height, window line, exposure, and the depth and quality of the renovation. We help buyers read the offering plan and financials, evaluate the layout and condition of a given loft, weigh common charges and taxes, and benchmark against Chelsea's pre-war loft-condominium set.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling story is strong and specific: an authentic 1911 loft, gut-converted, with eleven-foot beamed ceilings and oversized windows, operating as a full-service condominium with a deep staff for its size. Pre-war loft scale plus condominium flexibility is a durable differentiator against the neighborhood's newer, smaller-windowed product. Closing mechanics are condominium-standard — a right-of-first-refusal and a faster, more predictable timeline than a co-op process. With turnover light, a well-renovated loft benefits from scarcity within the building; pricing belongs against the comparable loft-condominium set, with ceiling height and renovation quality carrying real weight.
