Construction is up to the seventh floor at Chelsea House, a development of the Clarett Group, at 130 West 19th Street.
The mid-block building will be 13 stories high and has been designed by Randy Gerner of Gerner Kronick Valcarcel Architects. The developer and the same architect were also responsible for the Opus apartment building at 2770 Broadway and the Post Luminaria apartment building at 385 First Avenue at East 23rd Street.
This building will have large, multi-paned windows and fluted exposed concrete mullions and the center of its facade is slightly angled inwards.
The building will have several terraces and 64 apartments including "townhouse" units ranging from 1,374 to 1,926 square feet of interior space and 128 to 179 square feet of exterior space. It will also over 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units.
The building will have 24-hour concierge service, a fitness center, a residents' screening room, individual resident storage, landscaped backyard gardens, and ceilings that range from 9 feet 4 inches to 11 feet 4 inches. Several of the apartments will have fritted glass side-lites framing some windows. Each apartment will have a washer and dryer and exotic Jatoba hardwood flooring.
This building is directly across 19th Street from another new project, the conversion of a 83-year-old building at 121 West 19th Street. That project, known as the Lion's Head Condominium has 67 apartments. Both projects are very close to the Ladies' Mile shopping district along the Avenue of the Americas to the east and Fire Company 3 to the west on the corner at Seventh Avenue.
