At a glance
Character
The cobblestoned blocks where the West Village meets Chelsea — former market buildings now home to fashion, the Whitney, and the start of the High Line. One of downtown’s most design-forward addresses.
Typical tenant
Fashion, technology, media, and design firms — brand-conscious teams that prize a distinctive address, loft character, and proximity to the High Line and West Village.
Building stock
Low-rise converted market and warehouse buildings — brick-and-timber character, modest-to-mid floorplates — alongside select new boutique developments. Trophy creative space is tightly held.
Rent posture
A premium creative market: prime space commands rents above the Midtown South average, reflecting scarcity and cachet. (Illustrative — DLS stamps current figures before launch.)
