In a 2018 interview with CityRealty, HAP Investments founder Eran Polack spoke optimistically of the potential of Chelsea, calling it "a healthy and stable market." Three years later, a report in The New York Times found that Chelsea is among the leading areas welcoming new and returning residents. In this setting, Maverick Chelsea's two-toned facade by DXA Studio makes a dramatic design statement at street level, and the condos and rentals inside bring a new level of luxury to the neighborhood.

Leasing has recently launched on the 111 units in the rental component, which is housed in the gray-faceted section. Current availabilities start at $4,057/month for studios and $4,749/month for one-bedrooms. The prices are net effective to reflect one month free rent and one month OP on a 13-month lease. The concession puts it roughly around the Chelsea median rent of $4,006/month for studios, and nicely below the $5,453/month median rent for one-bedrooms (per CityRealty listings).

Those who'd rather buy can look to the white-faceted section of Maverick Chelsea at 215 West 28th Street for the same luxurious amenities and prime location. Sales units have similarly expansive layouts and oversized windows as rentals, but are enhanced by Miele appliances in the kitchens and generous closet space and dressing areas in the primary bedrooms. Current availabilities start at $1.5 million for one-beds, $2 million for two-beds, $4.8 million for three-beds, and $5.5 million for four-beds. Occupancy is expected for 2022.

All rental units have interiors by DXA Studio featuring:

Oversized tilt and turn windows
Ceilings up to 10 feet high
White European oak flooring
Custom Scavolini cabinetry, honed quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchens
Mosaic marble and custom vanities in the baths
In-unit washer/dryers
Juliet balconies and private terraces in select units

Maverick Chelsea offers high-speed Wi-Fi in all common spaces. These include:

24-hour attended lobby
State-of-the-art fitness center
60-foot bronze lap pool
Sauna and steam room
Himalayan salt-lined meditation room
Spa treatment room
Library
Lounge
Billiards room
Children's playroom
Sky Beach
Rooftop terrace with elevated fire pit
Outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, BBQ smoker, and rotisserie

Residents will also benefit from the central location. Hudson Yards, the High Line, and prominent Chelsea galleries may be found to the west; local restaurants and conveniences are in the opposite direction. The address offers easy access to several restaurants, and a Whole Foods outpost is four blocks away. Transportation options include Penn Station up the street and the 28th Street 1 train on the corner.

Indeed, the address offers a front-row seat to the transformation of this stretch of Chelsea once known as the Fur District, and now just south of the Penn District master plan. On this block alone, the sculptural facade of new office building 28&7 makes a striking statement on the corner. Construction is underway on a new academic building for the Fashion Institute of Technology. On the residential front, MAG Partners' debut project at 241 West 28th Street topped out construction in December 2021.
