Carter’s Review

"With 354 condominium apartments, The Chelsea Mercantile at 252 Seventh Avenue is one of the largest residential conversions of a commercial property in Chelsea.

The conversion in 2000 of the handsome, 21-story, 1906 building was designed by the firm of Avinash K. Malhotra and Gruzen Samton, one of the city's leading architectural firms, for Rockrose Development, one of the city's leading residential builders and converts."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "totally loaded" pre-war loft conversion in prime Chelsea earns raves for its "superb management" and "great amenities," including a gym, roof deck and coveted Whole Foods in-building. The "high-ceilinged" residences occupy one of Chelsea's largest commercial-to-residential conversions, while the "prime location" offers easy access to Flatiron dining, Fifth Avenue shopping and the High Line. "Lifestyle living" defines this full-service building, complete with doorman, concierge, and valet services, making it "most popular" among Chelsea's luxury offerings.
