Starrett-Lehigh Building, Office building in Chelsea, Manhattan, US
The Starrett-Lehigh Building spans an entire block with horizontal ribbon windows alternating between brick and concrete across its 19 floors at 601 West 26th Street.
Constructed in 1931 by Starrett Corporation and Lehigh Valley Railroad, this structure replaced the previous freight terminal while incorporating industrial design elements of that period.
The building transformed from a manufacturing hub to a center for fashion, media, and creative enterprises, reflecting the evolution of Manhattan's Chelsea district.
The structure provides 1.8 million square feet of office space with modern amenities, including event venues, fitness facilities, and dining options for tenants.
Enormous truck elevators, a distinctive feature from its original function as a freight terminal, now serve as social spaces for building occupants.
