245 Tenth Avenue is, per Carter Horsley, "one of the most distinctive [buildings] along the High Line in Chelsea" — and Horsley explicitly prefers it to HL23. The structural identity rests on three features.
First, the diamond-pattern stainless-steel-and-glass facade — Horsley describes the panels as "designed to appear like the graduated shades of gray within clouds, conjuring … abstract images of steam clouds from locomotives that used to run on the High Line." Second, the 20-unit boutique condominium configuration — small-scale at the High Line edge. Third, the Abigail Michaels concierge service — uncommon for a boutique High Line condominium.
