109 W 26Th St

An early-20th-century, 11-story boutique cooperative in Chelsea/NoMad that preserves prewar loft character across just ten residences. The masonry façade conceals expansive full‑floor and multi‑bedroom lofts with very high ceilings (commonly 11–12 feet), oversized windows on multiple exposures, and open-plan public rooms adapted from former industrial use. Interiors range from meticulously restored original pine and oak floors and beamed ceilings to fully modernized gut‑renovations featuring custom millwork, high‑end chef kitchens, and integrated HVAC systems. Units frequently include large walk‑in closets, extensive built‑in shelving, in‑unit washer/dryers, and generous storage rooms; several apartments have private keyed elevators and semi‑private landings. Common elements are intentionally restrained: a keyed passenger elevator, freight/service elevator, video security, and a recently renovated lobby. The co‑op’s split program accommodates residential lofts plus limited commercial space at street level; building systems include steam heat and central services appropriate to prewar stock, while condominium-like renovations provide modern mechanicals and A/V wiring. Policies are co‑op driven — pets, subletting, and financing allowances exist with board approval — and the building’s location places it within walking distance of Madison Square Park, the High Line, galleries, specialty grocers, restaurants, and multiple subway lines, catering to an urban lifestyle that blends residential privacy with immediate cultural access.
