Less than a year after a teaser site was unveiled, closings have commenced at Park House, the Selldorf Architects-designed boutique condominium at 500 West 22nd Street. Unit #6A, a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath unit measuring 3,443 square feet, closed for $9.3 million ($2,701 per square foot). This is slightly below the last asking price of $9.65 million, but was nevertheless high enough to rank among the top sales of the past week.
A number of the building's 10 units has entered contract, and a handful of remaining availabilities includes a one-bedroom for $2.725 million and three-bedrooms starting at $5.475 million. Among the three-beds is a duplex penthouse with private terrace and roof deck with impressive views; this is listed for $9.985 million. With an average price of $2,542 per square foot, Park House comes in slightly above the High Line Index average price of $2,188 per square foot.

With its modernist-inspired design and red brick facade, Park House is far less flashy than Selldorf Architects’ other High Line area design at 200 Eleventh Avenue; and yet, the new building is more congruous with its nearest neighbors for it. A recent site visit shows that scaffolding has come down, the majority of construction equipment is gone, and a welcoming entrance to the building is open.
There are no more than two units per floor, and all apartments feature:
- Direct elevator access
- Protected views of Clement Clarke Moore Park
- Oversized in-swing aluminum casement windows
- White plank oak flooring
- Generously scaled living space
- Kitchens with Bulthaup cabinetry, Pietra Cardosa Granite slab countertops, and Gaggenau appliances
- Baths with Dornbacht accessories and Fior di Bosco marble slabs
- Private storage included and generous closet space throughout

Park House boasts an enviable West Chelsea address across the street from Clement Clarke Moore Park, adjacent to the High Line, and on West Chelsea’s world-famous Gallery Row (the surrounding blocks alone are home to Gagosian, Galleria Ca' d'Oro, Yancey Richardson, and Miles McEnery Gallery, to name but a few). There is not a gym in the building, but it is well situated near the myriad athletic offerings of Chelsea Piers, the sports courts and skate park of Hudson River Park's Piers 62 and 63, and the walking paths of Little Island. Other nearby attractions include 192 Books, Empire Diner, Cookshop, and the dining, shopping, arts, and retail offerings of Hudson Yards.
