Closings commence at Nouvel’s Chelsea project

Jean Nouvel’s glass condominium at 100 11th Avenue at the corner of 19th Street has begun seeing closings, according to a building spokesperson. The news may come as a surprise to The Real Deal’s architecture reviewer James Gardner, who gave the newly completed project a negative review in this month’s print issue of the magazine. The high-profile condo development was financed by a $110 million loan from Fremont Investment back in early 2007.
