Walker Tower/PMG by Elena Kochetkova

Discovery

History: Walker Tower, situated at 212 West 18th Street in the vibrant neighborhood of Chelsea, is a magnificent luxury condominium building that has undergone a remarkable transformation. Originally envisioned by the renowned architect Ralph Walker and completed in 1929, this prestigious 24-story structure has been meticulously converted into 47 exquisite condominium residences by the esteemed architecture firm CetraRuddy. Among its many accolades, Penthouse One, located on the top floor, has achieved the remarkable feat of setting the record for the highest-priced condominium sale ever in downtown Manhattan. It sold for an impressive $50.9 million, a testament to the unparalleled allure and desirability of this remarkable residence. Architectural Sketch: Order for the PMG Development Miami Office
