About this property
536 West 29th Street is a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece for the most discerning. Awe-inspiring, and with a perfect mix of authentic, old New York and modern trappings, this reimagined warehouse and trophy property offers endless possibilities for expansion or future development with additional FAR, all at the nexus of bustling Hudson Yards and West Chelsea’s vibrant art gallery district.
Presently set up as the executive headquarters and a client entertaining venue for a financial services firm, 536 W 29 flows with various open working spaces, a creative studio workshop, atrium, glass-cubed conference room, great room, chef’s kitchen, library with rooftop access, mature planted Zen garden, and a large southern-facing terrace. With limitless potential, the property can readily accommodate commercial/office use for companies of influence, creative powerhouses, impressive art galleries, foundations, institutions, offices or private studios. Residentially, it could convert to the most creative of private mansions, or hybrid office with a residential penthouse.
