555W23 is one of the larger for-sale condominiums in West Chelsea, and it delivered new-construction condominium product to the neighborhood in the mid-2000s — before the High Line reopened as a park and before the surrounding gallery district filled in with the boutique glass towers that now define the corridor. Occupying a full block from West 23rd through to West 24th Street near the West Side Highway and the Hudson, the building sits at the western edge of Chelsea's art district, within a short walk of the High Line, Hudson River Park, and the galleries that line the low West Twenties.
The building's thesis is scale and amenity depth at a West Chelsea address. With roughly 336 residences across two connected red-brick buildings, 555W23 offers a breadth of inventory — from studios through larger family layouts — that the smaller, architecturally driven condominiums nearby cannot match. The landscaped interior courtyard, health club, and full staffing give it the operational profile of a full-service building rather than a boutique conversion, and the per-foot generally sits below the trophy glass towers that later rose along the High Line a block or two south.
Architecture and unit composition
Stephen B. Jacobs Group's design departs from the all-glass idiom that came to dominate West Chelsea. Two connected red-brick buildings — 14 stories facing West 23rd Street and 13 stories facing West 24th Street — frame a landscaped interior courtyard, giving many residences a quieter, garden-facing outlook rather than direct street exposure. Andi Pepper oversaw the interiors. The residences run from studios through larger multi-bedroom layouts; higher floors and the west-facing lines carry open city and Hudson-direction exposures. As with any 2000s condominium of this size, renovation quality and finish level vary line to line.
Building operations
555W23 runs as a full-service condominium: a full-time doorman and concierge, an on-site parking garage, a health club, a residents' lounge and club lounge, a landscaped interior courtyard with a water fountain, a large sundeck, bike storage, and a laundry room. Common charges reflect the staffing and amenity depth; the offering plan and current house rules are on file in The Roebling Research Library.
Recent sales
555W23 trades in the middle band of the West Chelsea condominium market. Recent closings have clustered below the per-square-foot levels of the newer trophy glass towers near the High Line, with a wide spread by line, floor, exposure, and renovation level given the building's size and unit variety. The scale of inventory means more frequent turnover and a broader entry point than the boutique buildings nearby. Apartment-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 1-00695-7503) 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
Underwrite the exposure. With a courtyard configuration and a full-block footprint, outlook varies dramatically — a garden-facing line and a Hudson-facing high floor are different products. Confirm the specific line's light and view.
Weigh the amenity value. The full-service staffing, garage, health club, and courtyard are a genuine differentiator in a neighborhood of smaller buildings. If you will use the package, the carry buys more here than the monthly number suggests.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre and investment use are accommodated under the declaration; subletting is permitted subject to the by-laws; closings run on a condominium timeline of roughly 30 to 45 days.
Model the full carry. Common charges plus property taxes plus utilities and insurance — run the complete monthly number, and confirm the tax picture given the building's vintage.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and amenity depth. Full-service operations, a garage, and a landscaped courtyard steps from the High Line and Hudson River Park widen the buyer pool relative to smaller neighbors.
Position against the West Chelsea condominium set. Your comparable set is the surrounding Chelsea condominiums, not the trophy glass towers on the High Line.
Exposure and floor drive the spread. Hudson-direction views, higher floors, and renovated interiors carry the premium; garden-facing lines trade on quiet.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30 to 45 days from contract to closing.
