About the Venue
The Altman Building is a landmark Chelsea event venue inside a former carriage house, combining historic brick architecture with the scale and flexibility needed for major New York gatherings. Vaulted ceilings, exposed masonry, hardwood floors, broad open rooms, and street-level access create a strong setting for weddings, galas, fashion presentations, corporate events, product launches, exhibitions, filming, and large production builds. The building's character is visually distinctive while the open plan remains adaptable to many layouts.
The venue accommodates up to 750 guests across approximately 14,000 square feet and includes private preparation rooms, restrooms, Wi-Fi, climate control, audiovisual support, accessible entry, and direct load-in from the street. Natural light and high ceilings help daytime events and productions, while the raw architectural surfaces work well with dramatic lighting after dark. The Altman Building is suited to planners who need a central Manhattan location with both historic atmosphere and professional event logistics.
