About the Property
Situated in the heart of Chelsea between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, 243 West 28th Street delivers an exceptional retail opportunity at the base of Ruby, a newly constructed and fully leased residential development. The property benefits from immediate foot traffic generated by hundreds of residents above as well as continuous demand from the Fashion Institute of Technology, located only steps from the storefronts. The surrounding neighborhood blends established residential blocks with a dynamic mix of local boutiques, cafés, and prominent national brands, creating a balanced environment for both daily-needs retail and destination-driven concepts. Retail co-tenancy at Ruby already includes Pet Evolution, SAINT, and Urbana Café & Gallery, establishing a curated, design-forward retail presence that aligns well with Chelsea’s creative identity. Nearby, tenants such as Whole Foods, Starbucks, Just Salad, Chipotle, Target, and Gregorys Coffee deepen the amenity base and strengthen customer draw throughout the day.
