Front Desk Team are the best
Former Tenant

As the title says, the team at the front desk are great and really make you feel safe and at home.

Hugely over priced
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are incredible, to a man and woman they are very friendly and responsive.
Cons:
Apartment units are well maintained but feel old with the fake wood furnishings. Building is located in one of the most boring and remote parts of Chelsea (opposite a FDNY ambulance depot). Views are terrible, either overlooking that depot or directly into the windows of a neighboring building. The amenities are very underwhelming given the price, especially compared with cheaper nearby buildings in Hudson yards.
Advice to owner:
Invest in better amenities
