Construction Tour: Terminal Warehouse
Northwest corner on the Chelsea waterfront.
Superstructure is rising at L&L Holding Company and Columbia Property Trust’s renovation of the Terminal Warehouse in West Chelsea. The structure was originally designed by George Mallory and constructed in 1891 by the Terminal Warehouse Company. COOKFOX Architects are overseeing the design of the renovation, which includes restoring the original building and the addition of a 6-story steel and glass structure and approximately 100,000 gross square feet of green space. A freight tunnel that runs the length of the 700 foot structure will serve as an interior street with the original steel inlaid tracks serving as the street connecting access to office amenities, retail space, and a central courtyard. At completion, the groundscraper will offer 1.2 million square feet with floor plates up to 160,000 square feet in size and more than 16 private terraces.
