2,400 sq. ft. Chelsea Co-op Loft Sells for $2.15M

by Co-op Board

An enormous 2,400 sq. ft. co-op loft at 135 West 17th Street in Chelsea just sold for $2.15 million, $300,000 less than the original $2.45 million asking price when the apartment first went on the market last September.

To date, this is the highest price on record ever paid for a cooperative apartment in the building. Prior to this closing, a sixth floor loft sold for $1,445,000 in September 2009 after selling for $1,185,000 just two years earlier.

The seller was a trust established by the late New York City artist Joanne Lowenthal.

Daniel Shapiro was the buyer.

Prudential Elliman brokers Jason Amirian and Jason Karadus had the listing.

Like many Chelsea lofts, this apartments is railroad shaped. It is a light, open unit complete with a modern stainless steel loft kitchen, gorgeous refinished oak floors, and a perfect entertaining and work space spanning nearly the entire length of the apartment.
