Lantern House, Residential tower in Chelsea, Manhattan, US
Lantern House is a residential complex in Chelsea, Manhattan, consisting of two buildings connected by the High Line park above, featuring distinctive bulging windows across the brick facade. The 22-story development offers 181 condominium units with one to four bedrooms and amenities including a fitness center and swimming pool.
Related Companies purchased the site in 2014 and began a five-year construction process. The residential development was completed in 2021.
The building incorporates design ideas from Victorian bay windows and New York industrial warehouse architecture. These elements create a modern residential complex that honors local construction traditions.
The building is accessible directly beneath the High Line park and offers a central location in Chelsea with good access to shops and restaurants in the area. Visitors can explore the publicly accessible lobby and see the connection between the two structures under the park.
The two separate buildings are joined in an unusual way at street level through a glass-enclosed passage beneath the High Line park. This arrangement resulted from the need to work around the park during construction.
