551 West 21st Street, designed by the world renowned Norman Foster, is a new luxury condominium building located in the downtown Manhattan neighborhood of West Chelsea. This 19-story condo will feature 44 individual residences, each ranging from 2- to 5-bedrooms, as well as three penthouses, each of which will occupy the top three levels of the tower. Each residence in this building will have access to private elevators. Expansive windows will allow residents to enjoy ample natural light throughout the day, while the upper level units will enjoy magnificent panoramic views across the Hudson River. In light of the recent havoc which Hurricane Sandy caused on the Far West Side, the designers and developers of 551 West 21st Street have implemented vigorous flood-proof measures, including a waterproof concrete wall which will sit 6 feet above ground level. The bottom two floors of the building will also feature the 303 gallery, featuring contemporary artwork.
