Chelsea runs from the Hudson River to
Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue to locals), is largely a residential area with a varied mix of high-and mid-rise buildings,
brownstones and industrial lofts. New luxury rental buildings have sprung up on Sixth Avenue and many new condo
developments such as 555 W 23, High Line 23, The Chelsea Enclave, Chelsea Modern, 100 and 200 Eleventh Avenue have been built
and are being developed on the far west portion of Chelsea between 9th and 11th Avenues. Chelsea
has also become a hub for media and creative people and high energy businesses. Google has their New York Headquarters in
Chelsea, along with numerous ad agencies and media companies and the new Frank Gehry designed glass building on the West Side
Highway opposite the Chelsea Piers is the headquarters for media, e-commerce Interactive Corp. The
development of Chelsea Piers and the water park has also provided a huge economic boom to the district. Chelsea Piers offers:
ice-skating; rock climbing; gymnastics, golf, two restaurants, a marine center, health club, bowling facilities, biking, roller
blading and television studios.
