While the westernmost section of Chelsea rose to prominence for its vibrant art scene, its adventurous architecture and high-end real estate has grabbed the most headlines in recent years. The newest entrant is 532 West 20th Street, an 11-story condo that rose on the former site of Anton Kern Gallery (which has relocated to Midtown East). The industrially-inspired building was designed and developed by DDG, and sales have launched on the apartments within.
Current availabilities include a four-bedroom listed for $6.5 million and a three-bedroom listed for $7.375 million. At an average price of $2,646 per square foot, this is more than 1.5 times the average Chelsea condo price of $1,737 per square foot; however, when compared to other High Line condos, the listings are only 22% above this average price of $2,054 per square foot (all figures per CityRealty data).

↓ Private balconies overlook the High Line, and the penthouse has a private roof terrace.
↓ Open chef’s kitchens are outfitted with custom-designed oak veneer and lacquered Molteni cabinetry, honed Volakas marble countertops, Miele appliances, and Sub-Zero wine fridge.

The apartments enjoy abundant closet space, but additional storage space is available for purchase. Additional amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge service, bike room, and private parking. LEED Silver certification is anticipated.
The building does not offer a fitness center, but is located across the street from Chelsea Piers. Nearby attractions also include the High Line, Chelsea Market, Cookshop, the incoming Little Island, and the galleries that brought Chelsea to prominence.

The surrounding area has also been home to a wave of new development in recent years. Closings recently commenced at the nearby ABI Chelsea, and remaining availabilities start at $12.3 million for a garden unit. The Emerson launched sales last summer, and its full-floor units start at $3.995 million. And on the corner of Tenth Avenue and West 22nd Street, the Selldorf Architects-designed Park House is gearing up for a sales launch.
On the commercial front, 532 West 20th Street is located up the street from 520 Warehouse, a Morris Adjmi-designed combination of a historic warehouse and modern glass addition, and down the block from the cancelled “Women’s Building,” which would have converted a one-time prison to a hub for services and nonprofits for formerly incarcerated women.
