Walker Tower, standing 22 stories tall at 212 West 18th Street in Chelsea, represents a masterful blend of historic preservation and modern luxury. The building takes its name from Ralph Walker, the architect who designed the original 1929 telephone switching building that forms its lower floors.
The architectural firm Cetra/Ruddy undertook the building's transformation, carefully preserving and expanding upon the original Art Deco design elements while adapting the structure for contemporary residential use. Their work maintained the building's distinctive Gotham style while elevating it to meet 21st-century standards.
The building offers an extensive suite of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, and a fully-equipped fitness center with a dedicated yoga room. Residents also enjoy access to refrigerated storage, a children's playroom, bike storage, and a sauna.
One of Walker Tower's most notable features is its library lounge, complete with a pantry and bar. The building is crowned with a landscaped roof deck that includes a dining area, sun lawn, and covered cabana space, providing residents with exceptional outdoor living options.
The building's Chelsea location places it within easy reach of several New York landmarks and conveniences, including the High Line park, numerous acclaimed restaurants, and vibrant nightlife destinations. Transportation is readily accessible via the 18th Street 1 train.
