505 West 19th Street is one of the defining condominiums of the High Line era in West Chelsea — a building by Thomas Juul-Hansen, completed in 2014 by the architect's account, the architect behind some of the city's most refined contemporary residential interiors, developed by HFZ Capital Group. Its signature gesture is structural and unmistakable: two ten-story towers that flank and connect beneath the elevated park, with the central lobby entrance set directly under the High Line. The exterior carries a distinctive waffle-grid façade with angled, projecting windows — a design that has become a recognizable marker on the West Chelsea skyline.
The location is the heart of the West Chelsea Arts District, surrounded by hundreds of contemporary art galleries and within easy reach of the Whitney Museum, Little Island, Chelsea Market, and Chelsea Piers. For buyers, 505 West 19th offers the combination that this neighborhood is prized for: architect-designed new construction, directly engaged with the High Line, in condominium form — the flexibility and finish that the area's collector- and design-minded buyers seek.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's twin-tower, High-Line-straddling form is its architectural argument: rather than turning its back on the elevated park, it incorporates it, with the lobby beneath and residences arrayed on either side. The waffle-grid façade and angled windows are the Thomas Juul-Hansen signature, giving the homes deep window reveals, dynamic light, and framed views of the park, the city, and the river.
The 35 residences carry the high-specification finish associated with the architect — refined kitchens and baths, quality materials, and well-considered layouts — with the angled windows drawing light and the High Line and river views distributed across the building. Floor plans span one- and two-bedroom homes through larger residences, with the upper floors and best-exposed units carrying the premium. As architect-led new construction, the building delivers contemporary ceiling heights, modern systems, and a full amenity package built in from the start.
Building operations
505 West 19th runs as a full-service condominium with a live-in resident manager and 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, bicycle and private storage, refrigerated delivery storage, and laundry. As a condominium, ownership is flexible — financing rules are condominium-standard, pied-à-terre and investment purchases are customary, and resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process. The building is pet-friendly.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires.

What to know if you’re buying
This is architect-designed new construction directly engaged with the High Line, in the heart of the gallery district. Ownership is condominium — there is no co-op board package or interview, only the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal; confirm financing, pied-à-terre and investor ownership in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules. The design and location are the assets: a Thomas Juul-Hansen building on the High Line is a recognizable, well-regarded address, and that supports resale. Evaluate each home on exposure, floor, and the framing of the angled windows — light and views vary meaningfully across the building. We help buyers read the offering plan, the common-charge structure, and the comparison set across the West Chelsea condominium market.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the High Line. A Thomas Juul-Hansen condominium straddling the elevated park, in the West Chelsea Arts District, is a distinctive, marketable offering that stands apart from generic new construction. Benchmark to the West Chelsea/High Line condominium set, and present the home to showcase its light, views, and finish. The condominium structure is itself a selling point — a wider buyer pool, including pied-à-terre and investment purchasers drawn to the gallery district. Presentation that captures the design and the park engagement produces the best results.

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.
