Ten23 was officially unveiled by Equity Residential and is now open for leasing. Designed by architecture firm Gerner, Kronick & Valcarcel to accentuate its location at 500 West 23rd St. Ten23 Apartments is a 13-story, 111-unit rental building, and the second ground-up development in New York City undertaken by Equity Residential, one of the largest publicly traded owner and operators of multifamily residences in the country. Featuring a mix of studio, one two and three-bedroom residences, Ten23 homes offer open floor plans with floor-to-ceiling low-UV windows.

Ten23 is Chelsea's first smoke-free living environment and was awarded Silver Certification by the National Association of Home Builders under the ANSI-certified National Green Building Standard. The building was also awarded The Concrete Industry Board Award of Merit for an Architectural Concrete Structure in 2011.
