Yves Chelsea

The blue-glass facade has stainless-steel bands arranged in three symmetrical U-shaped configurations. Setbacks begin at the eighth floor, creating a stepped silhouette and upper-level outdoor space.

The roughly 38–41 residences occupy 14 stories, with open plans, tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing. The original finish program includes Valcucine all-glass kitchen cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage, Miele appliances, walnut flooring, double-vanity baths with Grohe fixtures, and in-unit washer/dryers. Inspect the apartment’s current finishes, light and outlook.

Yves runs as a full-service condominium. A 24-hour doorman and concierge staff the lobby, and the amenity set is the building's calling card: the 48-foot indoor heated lap pool, a full fitness center with sauna and hot tub, a landscaped roof terrace, and basement storage. Confirm hours, access rules and any separate charges for these amenities.

As a condominium, there is no co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm financing, leasing and ownership-entity rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules. On a sale, the building's documented transfer fee is equivalent to two months' common charges, payable by the buyer, alongside standard move-in and processing fees; the building also reviews leases through a right-of-first-refusal, so leasing is subject to the condominium's rules. Common charges and the tax picture follow the offering plan, which we help buyers read.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,836/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00793-7508; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

Review the condominium’s application and right-of-first-refusal requirements and confirm the intended financing, leasing and ownership structure. Include the buyer-paid transfer contribution described above, move-in and processing fees in the closing budget. Examine current common charges, taxes and amenity access terms alongside the apartment’s actual light and condition.

Provide apartment-specific photographs, a measured plan and current common charges and taxes. Make the operating and amenity-access rules available, and identify the buyer-paid transfer contribution so prospective buyers can budget accurately. Support the asking price with adjusted Chelsea condominium sales.
