Small Chelsea Office for Lease
- 2,513 SQFT
- Lease Term Negotiable
- $65/SQFT
A bright, modern full-floor office on a higher floor offers an impressive combination of natural light, clean contemporary finishes, and a flexible layout ideal for teams seeking a polished Chelsea environment. The suite opens into a dedicated reception area positioned beside the entrance, giving arriving visitors an immediate point of welcome. Its position at the front of the floor makes it easy to brand and staff, and it naturally anchors the circulation path that branches into the offices and the open work zone beyond.
Moving inward from reception, the space flows into a central corridor that connects all major work areas. To the right sits the largest enclosed room on the floor, a spacious perimeter office that easily accommodates a conference table or a leadership team setup. The room benefits from a long run of windows along the façade, allowing daylight to illuminate the entire space throughout the day. Its generous proportions make it well suited for a main conference room, a senior executive’s office, or a hybrid meeting-and-work suite, depending on the needs of the tenant. Adjacent to this large office is a secondary perimeter office with additional window exposure, providing a bright environment ideal for private meetings, focused individual work, or small team collaboration. Its rectangular layout allows for a desk, small meeting setup, and shelving without crowding the room.
On the opposite side of the corridor, two additional enclosed rooms form a compact cluster of private offices or breakout rooms. These rooms are slightly tucked away from the primary open area and benefit from a quieter location within the floorplate. Each room is sized appropriately for one to three people and works well as private offices, therapy-style meeting rooms, creative studios, or small team pods that require separation from the main workspace.
At the center of the suite, an expansive open work area anchors the floor. This zone supports eight workstations comfortably and benefits from multiple window exposures that fill the space with natural light. The combination of exposed ceiling beams, crisp white walls, and warm-toned hardwood flooring creates a polished yet creative atmosphere consistent with the broader Chelsea office market. The open area sits directly between the enclosed rooms, allowing teams to move fluidly between collaborative work and quiet, focused spaces.
Adjacent to the open area, a modern kitchenette offers stainless steel appliances, upper and lower cabinetry, and a generous amount of counter space. This area functions as a central gathering point and enhances day-to-day operations without intruding on the workflow of the main workspace. Additional storage is positioned beside the kitchenette, giving tenants a dedicated place for supplies, equipment, or archives.
With three private perimeter offices, one large perimeter conference room, and a bright open area supporting eight workstations, the layout balances privacy and collaboration in a thoughtful, cohesive manner. Multiple window exposures, high ceilings, and a full-floor presence elevate the overall feel of the suite, making it an appealing choice for creative firms, boutique professional offices, and teams seeking a refined yet flexible work environment in the heart of Chelsea.
