<h2>What Our Brokers Say About Chelsea Office Space for Lease</h2>
<p>While this West Side neighborhood has a smaller tech presence than its Midtown South neighbor, the <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/flatiron-district/office-space">Flatiron District</a>, the notable presence of big name tech companies Netflix and Twitter—along with corporate offices of IAC (designed by Frank Gehry at 555 W. 18th Street), YouTube, Roc Nation, Venmo, and Uber—make excellent company for those tech companies looking to make the move. Earlier this year, Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., bought the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-22/google-adds-to-nyc-footprint-with-building-purchase-in-chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milk Building</a>, a 325,000 square foot office and retail property.

<p>Chelsea is also an ideal location for any business seeking to be at the heart of New York’s creative and entrepreneurial core.

<p>Chelsea’s residential and commercial real estate landscape continues to evolve, in part due to <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/4-office-perks-to-steal-from-google/">Google</a>, <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/knotel-vs-wework/">WeWork</a>, and the <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/hudson-yards/office-space">Hudson Yards</a> Redevelopment Project. With projected completion in 2024, soon Chelsea will benefit from 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12,700,000 square feet of new office, residential, and retail space. The mix of businesses in Chelsea may begin to shift, as rent prices rise and demand for proximity to both Hudson Yards and the Flatiron District grows.</p>

<h2>Chelsea Office Space | Lease Data &amp; Trends</h2>

<p>To get around the high rental prices for office space in Chelsea, office space seekers can either search for space in Class B property, which is considerably lower in price per sq. ft. than Chelsea’s Class A offerings, or explore <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/blog-how-to-sublease-your-office-space/">office sublease</a> options. These lease agreements are signed directly with current tenants and tend to allow for less commitment than a traditional lease, where the norm is 3-5 years.

Construction on the park began in 2006 and first opened to the public in 2009. An additional stretch near 10th Avenue and 30th Street opened in 2018.

<h2>Chelsea Neighborhood History</h2>
<p>Chelsea is one of the few <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/manhattan/office-space">Manhattan</a> districts that has retained the name of the original estate. In 1750, Englishman <a href="https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/ocejospring14chelsea/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thomas Clark</a> purchased land close to the water in New York and named it “Chelsea” after the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea,_Manhattan#History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Hospital Chelsea</a> in England. Originally, the property covered the area between 8th and 10th Avenues and between 19th and 24th Streets. For the first several decades, Chelsea did very well as a primarily residential area. Eventually, it grew into a hub for manufacturing companies.</p>
<p>Industrialization in the 1850s took advantage of access to the Hudson River piers and led to the construction of numerous warehouses, factories, lumberyards, breweries, and tenements. Many of these original buildings have been redeveloped into office spaces and apartments. The Chelsea Historic District was designated in 1971 and last expanded in 1982.</p>
<p>Chelsea’s 23rd Street area used to be NYC’s theater district. In 1884, Hotel Chelsea opened, and in 1868, Pike’s Opera House opened on this street. Today, Chelsea is best known for its place at the center of the art world. The neighborhood boasts more than 200 art galleries of varying sizes, and their visitors are a huge source of revenue for local businesses. The galleries are another of Chelsea’s many unique perks to local employees. In addition, Chelsea has become a unique shopping destination; shoppers here will find high-end boutiques such as Comme des Garcons, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Christian Louboutin. There are also a large number of restaurants to suit all tastes.</p>
<h2>Re-imagine Your Office Space In Chelsea NYC</h2>
<p>Chelsea has an abundance of inspiring office spaces that showcase endless possibilities for remodeling a workspace, with a variety of creative takes on conference rooms, private offices, workspaces, and more. In 2011, a 100,000 square foot warehouse building was purchased by British theater company Punchdrunk to create a five-story performance venue “The McKittrick Hotel,” now home to the immersive, site-specific theatrical production Sleep No More, a staple of Chelsea’s entertainment scene. Slightly less elaborate, Google’s Chelsea office, located between 15th and 16th streets, is filled with NYC-themed rooms and provides access to floors with ladders as well as elevators. The tech startup Outbrain is praised for its central conference room “The Fishbowl” in its New York HQ, while YouTube has permanent production sets available for its creators to use.</p>

<h2>Chelsea Neighborhood History</h2>
<p>Chelsea is one of the few <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/manhattan/office-space">Manhattan</a> districts that has retained the name of the original estate. In 1750, Englishman <a rel="noopener" href="https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/ocejospring14chelsea/history/">Thomas Clark</a> purchased land close to the water in New York and named it “Chelsea” after the <a rel="noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea,_Manhattan#History">Royal Hospital Chelsea</a> in England. Originally, the property covered the area between 8th and 10th Avenues and between 19th and 24th Streets. For the first several decades, Chelsea did very well as a primarily residential area. Eventually, it grew into a hub for manufacturing companies.</p>
<p>Industrialization in the 1850s took advantage of access to the Hudson River piers and led to the construction of numerous warehouses, factories, lumberyards, breweries, and tenements. Many of these original buildings have been redeveloped into office spaces and apartments. The Chelsea Historic District was designated in 1971 and last expanded in 1982.</p>
<p>Chelsea’s 23rd Street area used to be NYC’s theater district. In 1884, Hotel Chelsea opened, and in 1868, Pike’s Opera House opened on this street. Today, Chelsea is best known for its place at the center of the art world. The neighborhood boasts more than 200 art galleries of varying sizes, and their visitors are a huge source of revenue for local businesses. The galleries are another of Chelsea’s many unique perks to local employees. In addition, Chelsea has become a unique shopping destination; shoppers here will find high-end boutiques such as Comme des Garcons, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Christian Louboutin. There are also a large number of restaurants to suit all tastes.</p>
<h2>Re-imagine Your Office Space In Chelsea NYC</h2>
<p>Chelsea has an abundance of inspiring office spaces that showcase endless possibilities for remodeling a workspace, with a variety of creative takes on conference rooms, private offices, workspaces, and more. In 2011, a 100,000 square foot warehouse building was purchased by British theater company Punchdrunk to create a five-story performance venue “The McKittrick Hotel,” now home to the immersive, site-specific theatrical production Sleep No More, a staple of Chelsea’s entertainment scene. Slightly less elaborate, Google’s Chelsea office, located between 15th and 16th streets, is filled with NYC-themed rooms and provides access to floors with ladders as well as elevators. The tech startup Outbrain is praised for its central conference room “The Fishbowl” in its New York HQ, while YouTube has permanent production sets available for its creators to use.</p>
