Caledonia Rises High Above Line

With the first stretch of the highly-buzzed about High Line Park slated for completion by the end of the year, Related Companies LLC, (the masterminds behind the Time Warner Center), has opened the finely polished doors to the Caledonia — the first luxury condominium built along the “park in the sky.” The swanky residential tower located at 450 W 17th Street, houses 190 condominiums and will offer a spectacular view of the first section of the 1.45 mile park, which spans from Gansevoort to 20th street, still 14 blocks shy of it’s final destination at 34th street.

Residents of the Caledonia will use the 16th street entrance to access the new urban-haven, as talks of direct or private access to the park are still in progress. Don’t feel too bad for them though—in the mean time, residents can get their daily fix of fresh air and cardio in the tower’s private meditation garden and the fully equipped Equinox fitness center built into the tower.
