263 9Th Ave

The Heywood is an 11-story, prewar loft condominium in West Chelsea, originally built in 1914 as a commercial printing warehouse and converted to residences in the mid-2000s. The 50-residence building preserves industrial-era scale—beamed ceilings that commonly exceed 12 feet, oversized multi-paned windows, thick concrete floor separations and a Beaux-Arts façade—while delivering modern condominium systems. Homes are predominantly two-bedroom lofts and flexible one-bedroom-plus-den plans with features such as open chef’s kitchens with islands and high-end appliances, wide-plank hardwood floors, generous built-ins and abundant closet storage. Many units include in-unit washer/dryer, individually zoned HVAC, substantial gallery-like living rooms and spa-style baths with soaking tubs and double vanities. Common elements are modest and service-oriented: 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent and porter, a landscaped roof deck with city views, and supplemental storage for some units. The building allows pets and offers street or garage parking options nearby rather than an on-site garage. Located between 25th and 26th Streets on Ninth Avenue, the Heywood sits a block from the High Line and within easy walking distance of Chelsea Market, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers and Hudson Yards—placing gallery, dining, park and transit amenities immediately accessible to residents.
