Related Companies is looking to expand on Chelsea's cultural character as a world-famous art district, as well as expand this "gallery corridor" north towards Hudson Yards, as part of an initiative called The New West Chelsea. According to a press release from the developer, they're adding 15 new gallery spaces around their luxury condo at 520 West 28th Street, the late Zaha Hadid's undulating High Line stunner. A new space called High Line Nine, which will be located next to the condo and under the elevated park, will be modeled on a European galleria, complete with nine "boutique exhibition spaces," a cafe/wine bar with outdoor seating, catering kitchen, and amenity packages. They'll also add four galleries within the base of the condo, as well as two stand-alone spaces on the block.
