Overview of The Hohner Building at 48 Mercer Street

The Hohner Building, located at 473 Broadway in SoHo, is an 8-story residential condominium that was originally constructed in 1894 as a textile and rug showroom. Designed by Ralph Townsend, the building features a limestone façade and was home to the harmonica manufacturer M. Hohner on its sixth floor. In 2004, the building was converted into residential units under the guidance of architect Joseph Pell Lombardi, which included the addition of set-back penthouses approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

This attractive building, also known as 46 Mercer Street, comprises 30 apartments characterized by large layouts and high ceilings. The elegant façade includes retail space on Broadway, with rustication on the third and fourth floors, and a reproduction of the original copper cornice. The Mercer Street side presents a more understated appearance.

Apartments in the Hohner Building are known for their spaciousness, featuring high ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and modern kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ovens, and Miele dishwashers. Typical units offer expansive living areas, with some penthouses boasting private terraces and duplex layouts. For instance, Penthouse 8A is a two-bedroom duplex with over 2,000 square feet of interior space, while other units include features like large balconies and open kitchen designs.

Residents enjoy key-locked elevator access and proximity to SoHo's vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scene. The building's historical charm combined with modern amenities makes it a desirable location for those seeking a unique living experience in one of New York City's most coveted neighborhoods.
