About Walker Tower
Walker Tower at 212 West 18th Street is a 24-story Art Deco landmark in Chelsea, originally constructed in 1929 as a telephone switching station for the New York Telephone Company. Designed by the legendary architect Ralph Thomas Walker — whom Frank Lloyd Wright called "the only other honest architect in America" — the building was meticulously converted into 50 luxury condominiums by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group in 2012. The architectural firm CetraRuddy oversaw the transformation, preserving the building's nine shapes of brick in five different hues while adding four floors and distinctive spires to crown the west elevation.
Our team at Manhattan Miami regards Walker Tower as one of Chelsea's most exceptional residential buildings — a genuine piece of architectural history adapted for modern luxury living. Because the original telephone equipment required high ceilings and large windows, residences benefit from soaring ceiling heights and oversized openings that flood interiors with natural light. More than half the units have private terraces, and eleven feature wood-burning fireplaces — both extreme rarities in Manhattan new development. Built before neighborhood height limits were enacted, Walker Tower rises well above its surroundings, delivering protected 360-degree views across the Manhattan skyline.
Finishes reflect the building's pedigree: radiant-heated French herringbone oak floors, Smallbone kitchens, marble bathrooms with Waterworks fixtures and steam showers, Crestron home automation, and Nanz hardware throughout. The amenity program includes a 24-hour doorman, concierge, library lounge with pantry and bar, fitness center with yoga room and sauna, children's playroom, and a landscaped common roof deck with dining area, sun lawn, and covered cabana room. An on-site parking garage with electric vehicle charging adds further convenience.
Chelsea's gallery district, the High Line, and the Meatpacking District are all within easy walking distance, making this one of the most culturally rich residential neighborhoods in the city. Buyers drawn to Walker Tower tend to value architectural character, craftsmanship, and individuality over the uniformity of glass tower living. For those seeking an Art Deco masterpiece with modern luxury finishes and genuine neighborhood charm, Walker Tower stands alone. Contact our team for current pricing and availability.
