263 9Th Ave

The Heywood is an 11-story, boutique pre-war condominium in West Chelsea, converted from an early 20th-century industrial printing warehouse and finished as residences in the mid-2000s. The 50-unit building preserves loft-scale attributes—beamed ceilings, oversized multi-pane windows, and an articulated Beaux Arts façade—while integrating contemporary finishes. Units are primarily two-bedroom loft configurations with open-plan great rooms, formal entry galleries, chef-style kitchens with large islands, generous closets, and multi-fixture spa bathrooms; many residences include den space, in-unit laundry, and custom millwork. Common areas emphasize low-rise boutique living: a staffed 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent and porter, two elevators, and a planted roof deck with panoramic views. Exterior features include private outdoor terraces on select units and easy access to sunlight via multiple exposures. The property is pet-friendly, non-smoking, and wired for modern systems (integrated audio and upgraded HVAC in many homes). Located between Ninth Avenue and the High Line, the building places residents within walking distance of Chelsea’s galleries, restaurants, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, and Hudson Yards, combining quiet, loft-style interiors with immediate cultural and transportation conveniences.
