Carter's Review

Toll Brothers City Living is erecting a 19-story, mid-block apartment building at 55 West 17^th Street in Chelsea between Sixth and Seventh Avenues.  The building has been designed by Morris Adjmi and will have 53 condominium apartments.

Bottom Line

A pleasant mid-block apartment building in Chelsea with a doorman and concierge, a children’s playroom and a fitness center but no garage and no roof deck.

Description

The building has a façade of white, handmade Danish brick, a dark entrance marquee and the middle section of its façade is also dark on the lower three floors.  There is a façade on the central section of the 13^th floor, and two small setbacks on the 15^th floor.

Amenities

The building has a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a double-height residents’ lounge with a billiards table and a dramatic spiral staircase and wet bar, a screening room, a full-time doorman and concierge, bicycle storage and a landscaped terrace with grills.

Apartments

Kitchens have black oak cabinetry, Bianco Oro marble countertops and backsplashes, wine refrigerators and Gaggenau appliances.  Apartments also have wide oak plank floors.
