Originally built in 1919 as the headquarters for Street & Smith Publishing, the Jensen Lewis Building was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and remains one of Chelsea’s most desirable addresses. The 64-unit, well-managed co-op offers low monthly maintenance, 20% down, and permits subletting, guarantors, co-purchasing, and gifting (with board approval). Amenities include an elevator, video intercom security, live-in superintendent, full-time porter, and bike room.
Moments from Union Square, the High Line, and the West Village, this prime location offers every convenience — including easy access to the 1, 2, 3, F, M, and L trains, as well as the 14th Street PATH station and crosstown bus.
More than just an apartment, this is your chance to own a piece of New York history- a timeless loft with character, light, and endless potential.
