Completed in 2007, Highline 519 is a new construction 12-story residential condominium building located on Highline Park in the heart of West Chelsea. The neighborhood is home to the city’s leading art galleries and a vibrant mixture of progressive and upscale shopping, dining and living. The building has become a recognizable address known for its superior quality of construction and landmark design which set the bar for West Chelsea developments to come.

Leo Tsimmer’s visionary success has earned him a reputation of luxury development pioneer in what has now become one of the most exclusive residential real estate corridor in the world. Having acquired the site in 2004, he led the development effort from initial concept through construction and sales. Highline 519 became a beacon for others to follow, reshaping the landscape of West Chelsea and setting the stage for future luxury developments. Under Tsimmer’s guidance, Highline 519 emerged as a symbol of excellence in construction and bespoke design. His forward-thinking approach and hands-on management ensured timely and budget-conscious delivery with an impressive returns delivering 30% above market. With a keen eye for opportunity and a commitment to excellence, Tsimmer’s legacy is etched into the very fabric of Highline 519, marking a milestone in the evolution of the neighborhood and solidifying his reputation as a trailblazer in the world of good architecture and high end real estate development.
 

I can safely say that Mr. Tsimmer is one of the few design-oriented real estate developers I have met, who genuinely share my vision for community based luxury living. Mr. Tsimmer’s vision and unique approach, belief in community and desire to build neighborhoods not just a mere building, have rendered this block of Chelsea this much more lively and viable.

Caerus’ Highline 519 was not only a commercial success, it was a catalyst for the wave of high design re-development that transformed Highline Park, an area now synonymous with downtown chic and upscale New York living. Clad in wooden paneling, perforated stainless steel and glass the dramatic building offers bespoke finishes inside out. The project developed Caerus’ own vision of the city loft, a concept which has been proven time and again in New York developments since.
