3ELEVEN

3ELEVEN is a rental apartment tower at 311 Eleventh Avenue in West Chelsea, Manhattan, developed by Douglaston Development. It sits at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and West 30th Street, on the block where the Chelsea gallery district gives way to the Hudson Yards redevelopment.

The High Line runs directly past the site on its way north to the Hudson Yards spur, and Hudson River Park, the Chelsea Piers sports complex and the Hudson River greenway are one block west. The 7 train terminus at 34th Street-Hudson Yards is a few minutes’ walk north, with the A, C and E at 34th Street-Penn Station further east. The surrounding blocks hold the West Chelsea art galleries, the Starrett-Lehigh Building and the Javits Center.

Completed in 2022, the 60-story tower holds 938 apartments, making it the largest rental building in the Hudson Yards area in this index. It rose under the 2005 Hudson Yards rezoning, which opened the far West Side to high-rise housing and offices, and the 2015 extension of the 7 train to 34th Street-Hudson Yards made the site practical for residents.

Like most large new buildings in the area, it includes income-restricted apartments leased through the city’s housing lottery alongside market-rate units, and its upper floors look over the Hudson, the High Line and the Hudson Yards towers. Douglaston Development, which built it, also developed Level on the Williamsburg waterfront.
