Description

Unlock the Ultimate Creative Headquarters at Unit #5, 253 W 28th St— a full-floor, 5,500-square-foot industrial-chic loft in the heart of Chelsea’s dynamic Fashion District. Perfect for startups, creative agencies, or production companies, this rare commercial-style offering blends historic character with modern infrastructure—ideal for teams seeking space, flexibility, and inspiration.

Accessed via a private elevator landing, the space opens into a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, and streaming eastern light—creating a vibrant backdrop for collaborative work, presentations, and events. With newly installed soundproof flooring throughout the main workspace, studios, and meeting areas, the layout supports both heads-down productivity and high-energy brainstorming.

Currently configured with multiple private offices, a media lounge, and flexible team areas, the loft includes two full bathrooms and two powder rooms to accommodate staff and guests. Original tin ceilings and a rare wood-burning fireplace add one-of-a-kind character to this adaptive workspace.

An open-concept kitchen—outfitted with top-tier appliances—functions as a central gathering point for team meals or client entertaining, flowing into a bright southern studio ideal for a conference room, podcast suite, or content production zone, complete with its own bath.

Situated directly across from FIT and steps from top-tier restaurants, art galleries, and boutique retail, this architecturally rich space resides within an established creative co-op. With its expansive scale, authentic materials, and premium location, Unit #5 offers a rare opportunity to build your company’s culture in one of Manhattan’s most energized neighborhoods.
