Soori High Line is one of West Chelsea's most distinctive condominiums — an 11-story, 31-residence building beside the High Line, designed by Singapore-based architect Soo Chan of SCDA, his first project in New York, and developed by Siras Development with Oriel Development. Its signature is unusual even for a neighborhood that has become an open-air gallery of architect-designed towers: sixteen of the thirty-one homes contain their own private indoor heated saltwater lap pools, ranging from roughly twenty to twenty-six feet, set behind glass walls within the living space. There is nothing else quite like it in Manhattan.
For buyers, the building is a genuinely scarce object — a small, design-forward, full-service condominium on the High Line with a resort-grade wellness program both inside select residences and in the building's shared spaces. It sits at the center of West Chelsea's gallery district, steps from the High Line and a short walk to Hudson Yards, in a corridor where new-construction condominiums set the downtown luxury benchmark.
Building operations
Soori High Line runs as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, a spa with sauna and steam, a yoga studio, and private parking — a wellness program scaled well beyond the building's size, on top of the private pools in select homes. As a condominium, governance is light: a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package, no financing cap, and customary acceptance of pied-à-terre, trust, and LLC ownership. Subletting is materially freer than at a cooperative — the flexibility that pairs naturally with a trophy West Chelsea address.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.

With only 31 residences, turnover at Soori High Line is thin — a small handful of resales in a typical year, and stretches with no availability. Pricing sits at the top of the West Chelsea condominium market: the combination of architect-designed scarcity, in-residence pools, full-service operation, and a High Line address supports values among the corridor's highest, with the pool homes and upper-floor residences commanding clear premiums. Because so little trades, a single listing can set the building's benchmark. The auto-generated sales record reflects recorded transfers as they post.
What to know if you’re buying
This is trophy West Chelsea inventory with condominium terms. Financing is flexible — no co-op cap. There is no board interview — a right-of-first-refusal clears the purchase. Pied-à-terre, LLC, and trust ownership are customary, and subletting is far freer than at a cooperative. The product to study is the home: the sixteen pool residences are the scarce, defining inventory and price accordingly, while the non-pool homes offer the building's more accessible entry into the design and the address. We help buyers read the limited resale history and weigh Soori High Line against West Chelsea's other architect-designed condominiums.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the singular feature: the private indoor saltwater pool. Few residences anywhere in Manhattan offer it, and for the buyer who wants it, comparable supply is essentially nonexistent. Market the architecture and the wellness program — Soo Chan's design, the spa, the High Line setting — as the durable differentiators that distinguish a resale here from anything else in West Chelsea. Benchmark to the corridor's top condominiums, not to its more conventional new construction. The scarcity is the seller's leverage: with thirty-one homes and few resales, a well-presented pool residence competes against almost nothing, and the right-of-first-refusal keeps the closing faster and more predictable than a co-op board process.
