305 W 16Th St

A seven-story, 53-unit condop completed in 2008, 305 West 16th is a boutique full‑service residential building in Chelsea that blends contemporary finishes with full‑service residential operations. The exterior is low‑rise and restrained, with a planted courtyard and a planted common roof deck that offers skyline and Empire State Building views and a large sculptural installation. Interiors emphasize hardwood (carbonized bamboo) floors, tall ceilings, recessed lighting and double‑pane, triple‑locked windows for light and sound control. Unit mixes include studios, one‑bedrooms and larger three‑bedroom layouts; many residences feature open or galley kitchens with Caesarstone counters, custom Italian Cerused Wenge cabinetry and Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, plus in‑unit washer/dryers and built‑in storage solutions. Building common areas include a staffed 24‑hour doorman, a fitness/ Pilates area, a Zen viewing garden, a chic lobby, package room and optional basement storage and bike storage. The roof deck, planted gardens and private terraces (some units) create usable outdoor space uncommon at this scale. Policies are flexible for investors and pied‑à‑terre owners: subletting, co‑purchasing and pets are allowed and no flip tax has been noted. The location sits at the nexus of Chelsea, the Meatpacking District and the West Village, steps from the High Line, Chelsea Market, galleries, restaurants and multiple subway lines.
