As cited in The Wall Street Journal★ 92 reviews on Google

The blocks between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues in the West Twenties were, until recently, a working landscape of warehouses, garages and self-storage. The High Line rebuilt the demand curve and Hudson Yards rebuilt the skyline, and what has filled in between them is mostly glass. HxH Residences argues the other way. It is a ten-story dark-brick building with punched, multipane industrial windows on a block where its immediate neighbors include a converted 1926 warehouse and a pair of larger glass condominium towers, and the material choice is the positioning: it reads as the block's own history rather than as Hudson Yards spillover.

The site history is unusually legible in the public record. A six-story self-storage warehouse stood here and was demolished under a 2016 permit. An application to build twelve stories and 43 apartments was filed in March 2017 and never proceeded. The building that exists was filed in April 2018 as a ten-story, 60-unit residential building with accessory parking, and DOB issued its final certificate of occupancy on September 20, 2022. PLUTO's year-built field says 2020, while the final occupancy certificate dates to 2022. Those fields describe different milestones; consult the original construction records before selecting a completion year or assessing a valuation model's date input.

The more consequential date is later. The condominium declaration is dated October 31, 2024 and was recorded on January 13, 2025, and the first unit closings followed in February 2025. That two-and-a-half-year gap between certificate of occupancy and condominium declaration is the fact a buyer should understand: this building was completed and occupied before it was a condominium, and the individual residences came to market as a sell-out that is still in progress. As of the most recent City Register records, roughly forty of the sixty units have closed to separate, unrelated purchasers — individuals, couples, trusts and single-purpose entities, none of them affiliated with each other. This is a real for-sale condominium in an active sponsor sell-out, not a rental building in a condominium wrapper.

The zoning tells the last part of the story. The lot sits in the Special West Chelsea District under C6-3, with a residential floor area ratio of 7.52; recorded floor area works out to 5.01 times the lot area, a simple comparison that does not establish legal zoning floor area or permitted future work. ACRIS does record development rights conveyed to the predecessor lot in January 2017 from two lots on West 27th Street; how they entered the zoning calculation needs the zoning lot documents and the DOB zoning analysis. The building is ten stories.

Architecture and unit composition

The building occupies a 100-foot-wide interior lot of roughly 9,875 square feet running about 99 feet deep, and it fills essentially the whole of it. The elevation is symmetrical, dark-brick, and organized as a grid of punched openings with industrial-profile multipane windows — a closed, masonry composition rather than a curtain wall. The architect of record describes the interiors as designed by Ben Hansen Architect, with each residence given a distinct contemporary treatment rather than a single repeated finish package.

Sixty residences across ten stories on a 9,875-square-foot lot produces a small-apartment building: roughly 825 square feet of residential floor area per unit before common-area deductions. The mix runs from studios through penthouses, with the larger and outdoor-space-carrying residences concentrated at the top of the stack. The recorded closings across the sell-out are consistent with a mix weighted toward studios and one-bedrooms, with a small number of substantially larger residences above. Published specification includes wide-plank white oak flooring, oversized windows, high ceilings and in-unit laundry.

Building operations

Boutique condominium services rather than a full-service staffed program: a fitness room, a bike room, private outdoor space, and accessory residential parking permitted under the new-building application and described in published project records as nine private outdoor spaces. On-site parking is genuinely scarce in West Chelsea and is a real differentiator at this scale, but the spaces are limited in number and their allocation and any separate purchase or licence terms should be confirmed in the declaration and by-laws.

The building is young, which cuts both ways. Building systems, roof, envelope and elevators date from construction under a decade ago; their current condition needs recent engineering reports and board materials. Against that, the condominium has a short operating history and no long reserve record, and its budget has not yet been tested through a full cycle of insurance renewals and labor cost increases. Ask for the current budget, the reserve balance, and the sponsor's status on common charges for unsold units.

Policy framework

Tax posture is the headline. DOF's records show no exemption on the condominium lot or any of the sixty unit lots — no 421-a, no 485-x. Three other buildings on the same tax block carry 421-a exemptions; this one does not. With no exemption on the roll there is no phase-out to model, but check each apartment's tax bill for any abatement, and expect bills to change with assessments and rates. Compare monthly carry against abated new-development inventory on actual bills, not asking prices.

Lender project eligibility. Confirm any condominium financing limit in the declaration and by-laws. What can constrain financing in a building at this stage is agency project review: with a sell-out still in progress and a meaningful block of unsold units held by the sponsor, sponsor and investor concentration are questions your lender will ask about the project as a whole, separate from your own credit. Get a project-eligibility answer from your lender early rather than at underwriting, and ask the managing agent whether the condominium has a current lender questionnaire on hand.

Condominium framework. Pied-à-terre use and leasing are permitted with conditions; trust and limited liability company purchases are not documented. All are subject to the declaration and by-laws and to the board's right of first refusal rather than to cooperative-style approval. Pet rules and any resale capital contribution are not documented in the records we hold. Because no offering plan for this building was located in either library, the declaration and by-laws recorded with the City Register are the governing documents to read.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy

A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

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.

Recent sales

West Chelsea condominium pricing is quoted per square foot, and this is a boutique masonry building with a modest amenity program on a block that also contains larger, more heavily amenitized towers. Its distinguishing arguments are apartment finishes, on-site parking and a High Line and gallery-district address, to compare against actual competing listings. Its distinguishing burden is the tax line: compare full real estate taxes and common charges with the actual bills of any abated alternatives, and any per-square-foot comparison that ignores that is misleading.

A sell-out in progress also shapes the market. While the sponsor holds unsold inventory, resale sellers are competing against new-construction pricing and sponsor concessions in their own building. Compare current sponsor offers and concessions with resale listings; their price effect and significance for a short holding period require apartment-specific analysis. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,728/sf (floor-adjusted) across 5 sales. 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 0.0% from the last ask.

What to know if you’re buying

Model the taxes before you model anything else. There is no abatement. Pull the actual tax bill for the specific unit lot, not an estimate, and run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator with that number.

Get a lender project-eligibility answer up front. A condominium in an active sell-out is a project-review question as much as a personal-credit question. Ask your lender to clear the project before you go to contract.

Read the declaration and by-laws. No offering plan for this building was found in either library. The recorded declaration, the by-laws and the unit-lot schedule are the governing documents, and your attorney should read them for the parking allocation, any resale capital contribution, sublet restrictions and pet rules.

Distinguish construction and occupancy dates. City data carries 2020; the certificate of occupancy issued in September 2022. Identify each source's date definition in appraisal and insurance conversations rather than assuming the occupancy certificate establishes physical completion.

Confirm what the sponsor still holds. Ask the managing agent how many units remain unsold, whether the sponsor is current on common charges, and whether any unsold units are tenanted. Those three answers shape both your financing and your resale timing.

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.
