The O'Neill Building at 655th Avenue Of The Amer Building Details
Originally built in 1887 as Hugh O'Neill's Dry Goods Building, this distinguished cast‐iron landmark now forms one of the most elegant condominium conversions in Chelsea. Designed by Mortimer C. Merritt in the neo‐Grec style, the structure retained its architectural splendor, including ornate cast‐iron columns, high ceilings, and generous windows. After years of evolution in use (dry goods, lofts, offices), the building was converted into luxury condos in 2005/2007 by developer Elad Properties, with major architectural work by Cetra/Ruddy. It now houses 48 bespoke residences across seven stories, each merging historic character with modern comfort.

Residences at The O'Neill Building are celebrated for their loft‐like scale: many apartments feature 12‐ to 14‐foot ceilings, exposed cast‐iron columns, wide hardwood floors, oversized windows, and generous layouts that accommodate both entertaining and elegant daily living. Kitchens are upgraded with premium appliances (Sub‐Zero, Viking), marble or high‐end stone countertops, and spa‐like bathrooms with rich finishes. The conversions also brought in thoughtful modern touches like in‐unit washer/dryer where allowed, central air, and private storage-without sacrificing the building's historical identity or charm.

Located on the border of Ladies' Mile Historic District, with Flatiron, Chelsea, and Greenwich Village moments away, The O'Neill Building offers both prestige and convenience. From its richly restored facade (including the re‐installation of golden corner domes) to its landscaped 4,000‐square‐foot roof deck with outdoor kitchen and gathering areas, the amenities reflect a full‐service luxury lifestyle without ostentation. A full‐time doorman and concierge, high‐end finishes, and individual loft‐style residences make this a rare address for buyers who value both architectural legacy and modern elegance.
