Penthouse One is the last available residence in the “sky garage” building—the 4-year-old tower designed by Selldorf Architects at 200 11th Avenue in West Chelsea. The 4,266-square-foot penthouse (including 668 exterior square feet), located on the 12th and 13th floors of the 19-story structure, offers three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and two terraces with unobstructed views of the Hudson River and the Chelsea Piers. The highlight is the unit’s one-car garage en suite, which is accessible via a private 8,000-pound-capacity elevator. Youngwoo & Associates—the developer of New York’s Pier 57 project—is redesigning the penthouse with the Rotterdam, Netherlands–based architecture firm MVRDV. Completion is expected next month.
