Project
On the site of a former parking lot, 540 West 26th Street was a new construction 8 story commercial building with loft-style offices and large exhibition spaces in the heart of the Chelsea district. In keeping with the developer’s commitment to sustainable real estate, early in the design process base building sustainability targets were established for energy, water, waste, indoor air quality, and tenant satisfaction.
