508 West 24th Street is the High Line building that argues for permanence. Where much of West Chelsea's new construction reached for glass and sculptural metal, Cary Tamarkin — acting, as he characteristically does, as both architect and developer — built in solid masonry: load-bearing brick and architectural concrete, deep window reveals, and oversized steel casement windows. Tamarkin's stated design ethos is that buildings should "feel grounded and significant," and 508 West 24th is one of the clearest expressions of it. The building completed in 2014 and sold out roughly two years later.
The building is small by design — fifteen residences across ten stories — and it is built for living, not for a marketing brochure. The overwhelming majority of the homes are three-bedroom, deliberately scaled for families in a neighborhood whose new towers often skewed toward pied-à-terre studios and one-bedrooms. An exterior factory-style clock, set into the masonry facade and facing the elevated park, functions as a piece of public art and a signature: this is a building that wants to be read from the High Line.
Location is the third part of the case. 508 West 24th fronts the High Line in the most active stretch of the West Chelsea gallery district — David Zwirner, Gagosian, and a dense cluster of major galleries occupy the surrounding blocks of West 24th through 26th between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. Every residence overlooks the park. For a buyer who wants the High Line address and the gallery-district life but prefers prewar-style mass and casement light to a curtain wall, 508 West 24th is among the most architecturally considered options on the park.
Architecture and unit composition
The 15 residences are large — most in the range of roughly 2,000 to 3,300 square feet, with full-floor and penthouse homes larger still. Fourteen of the fifteen are three-bedroom layouts. Ceiling heights run to ten and twelve feet, with the penthouses near eleven feet; residences feature wide-plank white-oak floors, and the three penthouses add wood-burning fireplaces and wraparound terraces. More than half the homes have private outdoor space.
The architecture is the differentiator. The facade is solid masonry over an architectural-concrete structure, punctuated by oversized steel casement ribbon windows that give the building its industrial-warehouse character and frame the High Line from inside. The exterior clock facing the park is the building's signal gesture. Tamarkin's in-house design vision carries through the interiors, which favor restraint, natural materials, and the quality of light that the deep casement openings produce.
Building operations
508 West 24th operates as a boutique full-service condominium. Staff includes a full-time doorman and an attended lobby. Shared amenities include a fitness center, a roughly 1,300-square-foot landscaped common courtyard with a gas grill, a children's playroom, private storage, and a bicycle room. Residences are reached by keyed private-elevator access.
As a condominium, the building carries the ownership flexibility of the form: pets are permitted, pied-à-terre ownership is permitted, and subletting is allowed under the declaration. Specific subletting and financing terms are governed by the offering plan and current house rules. As with any boutique building, buyers should review the offering plan, recent financial statements, board minutes, and the reserve study during diligence.

508 West 24th trades as a top-tier, design-driven boutique condominium on the High Line. The combination of architect-developer pedigree, very limited inventory (fifteen large residences), and a direct High Line address positions it firmly in the upper tier of the West Chelsea market. The building has drawn a notable ownership base; the NBA's Carmelo Anthony purchased a full-floor residence here, a transaction covered in the press. With three-bedroom, family-scaled homes as the dominant product, the building's buyer pool differs from the pied-à-terre-heavy towers nearby. Comparable analysis is best done at the residence level — floor, exposure, outdoor space, and penthouse status all drive pricing. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00695-7508) 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
You are buying masonry and light, not glass. The solid-masonry construction and oversized steel casement windows are the building's defining quality. View residences at multiple times of day to read the casement light and the High Line frontage.
It is a family building on the park. With fourteen of fifteen homes configured as three-bedrooms, 508 West 24th is among the few High Line condominiums built for full-time family living rather than pied-à-terre use. That shapes both the buyer pool and resale demand.
Confirm financing terms in diligence. Pets are permitted and the building carries condo ownership flexibility; the specific subletting and financing terms are governed by the offering plan and current house rules — confirm them in diligence.
Comps are thin; go unit-level. Fifteen residences means a curated comp set — the building's own history plus a tight group of High Line peers — beats any neighborhood average.

What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the park. The Tamarkin masonry pedigree, the casement windows, the family-scaled floor plans, and the direct High Line frontage are the differentiators — and they are scarce on the park.
Pricing requires residence-level context. In a fifteen-unit building, the right comp set is the building's own transaction history plus a tightly curated peer group, not a broad neighborhood figure.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
