ABOUT CHELSEA

Located in Manhattan’s southwestern bank, Chelsea’s mix of tech, fashion, and art makes it one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods. The High Line, a 1.4-mile elevated linear park, stretches across the area to connect pedestrians from Hudson Yards into Chelsea’s well-known galleries and restaurants along the way.

With numerous mass-transit options located throughout, accessing the neighborhood by subway or bus is simple. Equal parts business district, nightlife destination, and residential enclave, Chelsea has enough to make everyone happy.

With Chelsea acting as a de-facto Google campus, much of the office inventory here is occupied by the tech sector. With many firms wanting to be around the other tech giants, tenant demand here remains robust. This demand has led to the development of modernized buildings that offer a host of amenities.
