Office space in Chelsea
Converted industrial buildings, the High Line and large, characterful floors.
Chelsea, west of Sixth Avenue from roughly 14th to 30th Street, mixes converted industrial buildings, galleries and the High Line, with Google’s campus at its southern edge.
Its former warehouses and loft buildings suit creative and tech teams that want character and room, and it borders Flatiron, the Meatpacking District and Hudson Yards, so a Chelsea search often widens into one of them.

From the broker
What we’re seeing in Chelsea
Chelsea suits teams that want character and room: former warehouse and loft buildings with high ceilings and big windows. Availability right now leans toward smaller furnished spaces, which can be a fast way in. When a search needs more room, we usually widen it to Flatiron or Hudson Yards next door.

Questions
Office space in this neighborhood: common questions
How much does office space cost in Chelsea?
Asking rents for the spaces Nomad is showing in Chelsea currently run $56.50–$140 per square foot per year, with a typical asking rent of about $98. For a full space that’s roughly $20K–$122K a month in base rent, before escalations, taxes and operating expenses. Final terms depend on the building, the condition of the space and the lease length.
What size offices are available in Chelsea?
Listings Nomad is showing in Chelsea range from about 3,700 to 10,400 rentable square feet, mostly subleases, with some direct leases. Most of what fits a growing team never reaches a listing site, so a Nomad Space Book also covers off-market options.
Is Chelsea more expensive than Flatiron?
Right now, typical asking rents in Chelsea (about $98/SF) are slightly higher than Flatiron (about $90/SF), based on Nomad’s live inventory in both. The gap depends on building class and condition, so comparing specific floors matters more than neighborhood averages.
Can you find furnished or sublease space in Chelsea?
Yes. Nomad’s current listings include furnished options and subleases. A furnished sublease can get a team in quickly, usually for the rest of the existing tenant’s term.
Are Chelsea and the Meatpacking District the same market?
No. Nomad treats them separately. Chelsea runs west of Sixth Avenue from about 14th to 30th Street. Meatpacking listings appear under their own name on the Properties page.
What companies lease in Chelsea?
Creative and tech teams that want character and room. Nomad has moved Hampton, Zenlytic, Haven and Prelim there. Nomad also found Small Door’s first headquarters in Chelsea, then moved the team to a larger office in NoMad when it outgrew it.
How do you get to Chelsea?
The 1 train along Seventh Avenue, the A, C, E and L at Eighth Avenue, the 1, 2 and 3 at 14th Street, and PATH at 14th and 23rd.
