Chelsea Court Tower is a 16-story prewar cooperative completed in 1928, located at the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 20th Street in Chelsea. The building contains about 74 units, primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts that retain period details such as high beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and generous window counts that provide multiple exposures and wide city or treetop views. The lobby is finished in marble, elevators serve the tower, and floor plates are intimate with roughly five apartments per floor. Common areas include a planted roof deck with panoramic river and skyline views, a central laundry room, bicycle storage, and private basement storage; a live-in superintendent, porter, and a part-time doorman (typically 4 PM–12 AM) provide on-site building support. Kitchens and baths across the co-op vary from classic windowed arrangements to renovated contemporary finishes with modern appliances; many units feature dining areas, entrance foyers, built-in cabinetry and abundant closets. The building’s policies are relatively flexible for a prewar co-op: pets are permitted, pied-à-terres are allowed, gifting and co-purchases are considered, and subletting is permitted after a residency period (commonly two years) for limited terms. Situated a short walk from the High Line, Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, galleries, restaurants and multiple subway lines, the tower offers a blend of historic character and convenient urban living in one of Manhattan’s active neighborhoods.
