Historic Building, Modern Workspace

Your office will sit inside a piece of New York history. Robert Maynicke designed this striking building back in 1901 for Cluett, Peabody & Co., the company behind those famous Arrow brand detachable shirt collars. The Troy, N.Y. manufacturer chose this spot for their New York City headquarters, and you can still feel that entrepreneurial spirit today. The Kaufman Organization transformed this former store-and-loft property into creative office space in 2000. They’ve kept the character intact while making it work for modern businesses. Major renovations in 1988 and 2013 updated the infrastructure. The 2021 lobby restoration brought back the stunning original marble paneling and ornate staircase.

Your Future Office Space

22 West 19th Street office space gives you 215,000 square feet of Class B workspace spread across 11 floors. You’ll appreciate the 11.5-foot ceilings that make even smaller spaces feel open and airy. The hardwood floors add warmth and character that you won’t find in sterile glass towers. Each floor offers flexible layouts that adapt to your team’s needs. Whether you’re expanding rapidly or prefer intimate collaborative spaces, the building’s bones work with you. The tenant-controlled HVAC means you control your comfort year-round, not some building manager who thinks 68 degrees works for everyone.

Building Amenities That Matter

You want amenities that improve your workday, not just look good in marketing photos. Here’s what actually makes a difference at 22 West 19th Street office space:

  • 24/7 Building Access: Work when inspiration strikes, not when a security guard decides to show up. Your key card gets you in anytime, day or night.
  • Five High-Speed Elevators: Skip the morning elevator traffic jams that plague older buildings. You’ll get to your floor quickly, even during rush hour.
  • Dedicated Pantry Room: Give your team a proper break space with cafe seating. Coffee tastes better when you’re not drinking it at your desk.
  • Spacious Lobby Area: First impressions matter when clients visit. The restored lobby with its original marble and striking staircase sets the right tone.
  • Ground-Floor Retail: Grab lunch, coffee, or last-minute supplies without leaving the building. Convenience matters when deadlines are tight. Ground-floor retail space does wonders.

Getting Here is Easy

Your commute shouldn’t be a daily struggle. The building sits perfectly positioned in Chelsea, close to three subway stations that connect you to the entire city. The 14th Street, 18th Street, and 23rd Street stations all serve different lines, giving you multiple route options.

When clients visit, they’ll find you easily. The address puts you right in the heart of Midtown South, surrounded by restaurants and shops they already know. Parking is available nearby for those who prefer to drive, though most of your team will probably take advantage of the excellent subway access.

You’ll Be in Good Company

The tenant mix at 22 West 19th Street tells you everything about the building’s appeal. FXCollaborative chose this space for their architecture practice, while Fisher Marantz Stone runs their lighting design firm from here. Creative agencies like Carbone Smolan Agency and Fort Street Studio thrive alongside tech companies like Inturn and Agile Lens. You’ll also find City Papery serving the neighborhood’s stationery needs and Ferra Fitness keeping everyone healthy. The variety creates an energetic environment where different industries cross-pollinate ideas. Your next big partnership might start with a conversation in the elevator.
