THE VENUE
The Altman Building is a historic Chelsea venue that combines late 19th-century architecture with modern event functionality. Originally built in 1896 as the carriage house for B. Altman & Company, the space now offers a versatile, nearly column-free layout with vaulted brick ceilings, large arched windows, and seamless street-level access. With its blend of character and flexibility, it serves as an ideal setting for trade shows, fashion events, and large-scale productions in the heart of New York City.
