205 West 28th Street – Where Style Meets Structure
Rising in the heart of Chelsea’s Fashion District, 205 West 28th Street—also known as 28&7—is a standout example of architectural elegance and thoughtful materiality. The building draws inspiration from the iconic Little Black Dress, with a dramatic black terracotta façade that makes it the only commercial tower in New York City clad entirely in this rich, sculptural material. Designed to complement its vibrant surroundings while making a bold statement, 28&7 stands as a modern landmark in one of Manhattan’s most creative neighborhoods.
Inside, the lobby contrasts beautifully with the exterior—offering a calming, gallery-like experience defined by a pale, neutral palette and delicate ambient lighting. Every design element is intentional, creating a refined sense of arrival for tenants and visitors alike. With premium office floors, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a prestigious location between 7th and 8th Avenues, 205 W 28th is tailor-made for companies seeking a blend of creativity, luxury, and high performance.
