Overview of London Terrace Towers at 405 West 23rd Street

London Terrace Towers, completed in 1930-1931, is an iconic pre-war residential complex occupying a full city block in Chelsea between West 23rd and 24th Streets and Ninth and Tenth Avenues. The massive development, designed by architects Victor Farrar and Richard Warmough for developer Henry Mandel, consists of four corner co-op buildings (London Terrace Towers) and ten middle rental buildings (London Terrace Gardens), originally containing 1,670 units. 

The complex was built on the former site of historic London Terrace townhouses and the property of Clement Clarke Moore, author of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." The buildings feature distinctive Romanesque architectural details and were among the last courtyard apartments built before new housing codes. Today, the full-service complex offers extensive amenities including a half Olympic-sized indoor heated pool, health club, roof deck with city views, 24-hour doorman service, and steam rooms and saunas. Its prime Chelsea location provides easy access to the High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, and the neighborhood's renowned art gallery district.

Carter’s Review

"A famous row on 23rd Street of four-story townhouses with large front gardens known as London Terrace and a similar row of two-story townhouses on 24th Street known as Chelsea Cottages, both designed by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1845, were demolished to make way for this gargantuan, 1,670-unit, full-block apartment project, which was completed in 1930.

The history of the site is wonderfully described in a well-illustrated chapter in Andrew Alpern's superb book, "Luxury Apartment Houses of Manhattan An Illustrated History" (Dover Publications, 1992)."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "full-service" Chelsea co-op offers "resort-style" amenities including an "Olympic pool," steam room and "state-of-the-art" fitness center. The "serene" location provides easy access to the A,C,E trains while being "steps away" from Chelsea Piers and the "trendy" Highline. Building perks include a "verdant" roof deck and planted garden, making it a "peaceful oasis" in the heart of the city.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
