889 Broadway is a historic pre-war co-op building in Manhattan's Flatiron/Union Square area, completed in 1883 and landmarked in 1984. The building offers amenities like a key-fob elevator and roof deck, and is conveniently located near parks and renowned restaurants. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Gorham Building at 889 Broadway is a landmarked Queen Anne style co-op designed by architect Edward Hale Kendall and completed in 1883 as the headquarters for the Gorham Manufacturing Company, New York's premier silverware maker during the Gilded Age. The eight story red brick building features ornate terracotta and cast iron detailing along with a distinctive Dutch Mansard roof. Originally designed with commercial spaces on the lower floors and residences above, the building was converted to a residential co-op in 1977 and received official landmark designation in 1984. Located in the Flatiron District's Ladies' Mile Historic District, the boutique 18 unit building sits between Union Square and Madison Square Park.
Apartments at The Gorham retain exceptional prewar character with soaring 11 to 12.5 foot ceilings, oversized south facing windows, original architectural columns, and hardwood or herringbone floors. Many units feature exposed brick walls, open loft layouts, and renovated kitchens with high end appliances including Viking and Sub Zero. The second floor houses a particularly notable residence with over 40 feet of windows and 12.5 foot ceilings that once served as the Gorham Silver Company's showroom. A full floor unit spanning over 4,000 square feet includes 25 enormous windows and a wood burning fireplace, currently configured as two separate lofts but easily convertible to a single residence.
The building offers a full time superintendent, keyed elevator access, updated video security system, and a landscaped roof terrace. Each apartment includes deeded storage in the basement, and in unit washer dryers are common throughout the building. The self managed co-op permits pets for primary residences only. An assessment of $2,645 runs through February 2028.
Maintenance fees at The Gorham are remarkably low for the neighborhood, with several listings citing monthly charges of just $382, which includes real estate taxes. Even larger units maintain unusually affordable monthlies, with a full floor residence listed at $2,700 per month. This combination of low carrying costs and prime location has made units rare to market, with at least one apartment not offered for sale in over four decades.
The building's Flatiron location provides immediate access to the Union Square Greenmarket, Madison Square Park, and Gramercy Park. Residents are within walking distance of acclaimed restaurants including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, ABC Kitchen, and Craft. The neighborhood offers excellent subway access at Union Square station along with abundant shopping, fitness clubs, and the cultural amenities of one of Manhattan's most architecturally significant districts.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
