The Fitzroy is a ten-story residential building in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The building was developed by Largo and JDS Development Group and designed by Roman and Williams, a New York City-based architecture and design team. It is the firm’s third building design, after 211 Elizabeth and the Viceroy Hotel.

History and construction

[edit | edit source]

JDS Development purchased the development site at 514 West 24th Street for $35 million in 2014.[2] Preliminary plans for the building were released in early 2015.[3] Largo and JDS Development secured a $57 million construction loan from Banco Santander for the structure in 2014 along with $17.5 million in preferred equity from First Key Residential.[2] Renderings for the building were made available to the public in mid-2015.[4]

The building broke ground in late 2015.[5] Sales of units in the building also began late in 2015.[6] The building topped out in June 2017.[7] Installation of the building's facade ended in August 2018.[8] Construction wrapped up in early 2019.[9]

The building's name refers to a road in Chelsea that no longer exists.[10]

Design

[edit | edit source]

Early designs for the building were first released in early 2015, with more developed versions released in July 2015. The building has received praise for its design.[11][4][12]

The building is one of several in New York City designed and built around the same time featuring terra cotta.[13] Buildings such as the Steinway Tower, designed by SHoP Architects and completed in 2021, and One Vanderbilt, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and completed in 2020, also use terra cotta.[13]

Usage and amenities

[edit | edit source]

The building is exclusively residential, with fourteen apartments spread over ten stories.[14] Amenities include wine cellars, extra storage, a children’s playroom, and a fitness center. The building also features eleven-foot ceilings, in response to the inclusion of tall ceilings in other luxury developments.[10][15]

Controversy

[edit | edit source]

Gallery owner Mike Weiss claimed noise from the construction site forced him to close his business.[16]
