Permits have been filed for a 17-story self-storage facility at 155 West 29th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. Located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, the interior lot is near two 28th Street subway stations, serviced by the 1, R, and W trains. Herald Square and Penn Station are also near the site. The Davis Companies under the Div West 29th Street LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 223-foot-tall development will yield 166,679 square feet, with 135,003 square feet designated for manufacturing space. The concrete-based structure will have a cellar and sub cellar, but no accessory parking.
William Mandara Jr. of Mancini Duffy is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in June for the three-story industrial building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

17 story self storage? The text says manufacturing.
That isn’t an inconsistency. Self-storage would fall under the manufacturing category for zoning purposes.
What IS weird is that they’re building a new self-storage facility in the middle of Manhattan??? Most valuable real estate in America, what?
Must be self storage for gold
It’s a good thing. Those stores bring a bad crowd. 29th street has changed dramatically in 10 years.
real estate in the neighborhood tanked due to Mayor Deblasio & Cuomo, – snctuary, no bail laws – skyrocketing crime, neutering the nearby NYPD, housing 235 criminals in a nearby hotel…., stabbings, rape, homelessness rampant on 29th street now
It does seem weird to build self storage at this location. I live a block away. I can see the possibility of using it.
