Atlantic Foundation looks to cash in on Chelsea sale

The nonprofit Atlantic Foundation has put its Chelsea digs — a site that could be worth as much as $45 million — up for sale. The High Line-adjacent site at 540 West 21st Street has about 70,000 square feet of buildable space, but a buyer could add roughly 20,000 square feet by purchasing air rights from nearby sites. “A developer could build a 250-foot-tall, 23-story building here, which is taller and bigger than many other development sites in the neighborhood,” Stephen Powers, a broker with Denham Wolf, which is marketing the property, told Crain’s. The area’s current zoning requires that one-third of the space in any development be commercial. Powers suggested that a buyer consider a commercial condominium in the base of a residential tower and sell it to art-gallery tenants.
