Pre War Building
4 min walk to Chelsea Green
A former industrial warehouse converted to condos in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood
Long before being converted to condos in 2008, The Clement Clarke was built in 1911 as the home of an industrial manufacturing company. The redesign, led by architect Stephen Alton and developed by The Vintage Group, kept the building’s prewar appeal as a testament to Chelsea’s once-industrial past. “When this was converted, it was the start of a lot of the new developments that came up. It was an untapped area and wasn’t as residential as it is today. Now, if you look across the street and next door, there are newer buildings, but what makes the Clement Clarke so unique is that it’s converted,” says Lisa Chajet, a broker at Coldwell Banker Warburg who recently sold a penthouse in the building. Many units have since been renovated since the mid-aught conversion and are spacious for Manhattan standards, typically averaging over 1,000 square feet with oversized, double-hung windows. Despite the lobby being rather small, there is a full-time doorperson, concierge, and live-in porter, as well as extra storage available in the basement. “People love the location. They love that it’s a quiet building. It’s not fancy, but they’re highly functional apartments with a lot of privacy,” adds Chajet.
Spacious studio to three-bedroom units in a prime location
Since sales began in 2007, turn-around in the building hasn’t been as rapid as many other New York City properties. As with most prewars, each apartment also has a proper vestibule and a dining area. And choosing a historical prewar over a new all-glass tower has its benefits: “The ceiling heights are unbelievable. These kinds of details you can’t replicate. People just don’t build like that anymore,” she adds. Studios, averaging around 544 square feet, can go as low as $775,000 in recent years and one-bedrooms typically range between $1.3 million and $1.8 million for just over 1,100 square feet. Two-bedrooms are rare to come to market and generally start at $1.9 million, while three-bedroom and four-bedroom penthouses run between $3.6 million and $5.2 million. Although each one is updated differently, many units feature hardwood floors, double sinks and oak vanities in the bathroom, rosewood kitchen cabinets and Miele appliances.
Perks of a prewar condo and shared amenities
“Every time I was in the building, I’d bump into the residents, and they said they loved living there. I would call it a boutique Chelsea building,” says Chajet. She noted that buyers tended to like the extra wall space one gets in a prewar as opposed to a new glass tower. Common charges are, according to Chajet, “very reasonable,” and include water, heat and access to the rooftop deck, which has cushioned seating areas and a smattering of landscaped greenery. There’s also a common laundry room in the basement, but one drawback for some residents is that The Clement Clarke does not currently have a gym.
A legendary neighborhood with strong artistic roots
As one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods—a former epicenter for rock and roll and punk music, a haven for bohemians, artists and poets, and one now-immortal namesake hotel—Chelsea remains a highly coveted neighborhood. “It’s sort of at the crossroads of downtown. It’s like living in a slice of real Manhattan. You’re living in a residential neighborhood with access to so much,” says Chajet. While many of the area’s artists have been priced out over the years, residents can still find art galleries, excellent dining at nearby Eataly and the High Line, an elevated park and excellent example of adaptive urban reuse, within walking distance.
Local subway lines and bustling retail areas
The 1 train can be accessed less than one block away, and the R and W trains are just two avenues east. Trader Joe’s is also around the corner on 6th Avenue, as well as plenty of small bakeries and cafes. As a prime retail area, residents can also shop at nearby Michael’s or the popular Chelsea Market over on 9th Avenue for produce and artisan goods.
