Located in one of Chelsea’s most coveted buildings off of the highline, our favorite listing this week is 500 W 21st Street. Designed by the award-winning architecture firm, KPF, with landscaping by the internationally-acclaimed Rees Roberts + Partners. 

Right off of the highline, this specific apartment really benefits from the landscaping. In order to ensure the upmost privacy for the high-end listing, RR+P planted Aspen Birch Trees all around. Homeowners can enjoy the lush vistas and views of the highline, without feeling like a total fish in a fishbowl.
