Ruby is a 480-unit, two-towered rental building located at 243 West 28th Street, across the street from Fashion Institute of Technology in Chelsea. It was named in honor of fashion designer Ruby Bailey and was developed in a joint venture between MAG Partners, Safanad, Atalaya Capital Management, and Qualitas. The design by COOKFOX is underpinned by high-performance systems that optimize energy performance and contribute to its LEED Silver certification.
About 10% of units have private outdoor space, and all apartments have keyless entry, ceilings up to 15 feet high, oversized windows with solar shades, engineered wood oak flooring, Nest thermostats, and in-unit Energy Star-certified washer/dryer. Both towers are connected by a courtyard, and amenities include an attended lobby, a two-level fitness center, a library lounge with coworking areas, a club lounge, and a rooftop terrace with outdoor pool and grilling stations.
