Two 21-story apartment buildings at 210 East Broadway on the Lower East Side were erected in 1960 as part of a larger complex with 1,728 co-operative units. The attractive red-brick buildings were developed by the United Housing Foundation with labor organizations as co-sponsors and designed by Herman J. Jessor. Currently, 4 apartments are for sale.
Seward Park (3-4) is a pair of 21 story red brick cooperative towers completed in 1960 along East Broadway, with 866 apartments. Herman J. Jessor designed the buildings for the United Housing Foundation and its labor organization cosponsors under Title I of the National Housing Act. Part of a four building, 1,728 unit complex, the towers have projecting wings, corner windows and balconies across their upper stories.
Jessor’s emphasis on practical apartment planning is evident in the windowed kitchens, broad entry foyers, parquet floors and cross ventilation that recur in the floor plans. Many kitchens retain eat in or pass through arrangements, while numerous layouts allow the kitchen wall to be opened to the living area. Apartments range from roughly 500 square foot studios, some convertible to one bedrooms, to three bedroom homes exceeding 2,100 square feet; corner exposures, private balconies and skyline views also appear repeatedly.
The cooperative has two private gated parks with mature landscaping, playgrounds and a water play area. Its buildings have 24 hour attended lobbies, live-in superintendents, laundry rooms, a fitness center, an indoor children’s playroom, a community room, bike storage and underground parking. Each lobby also has a 1959 mural by Hugo Gellert, with portraits of Jefferson, Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Einstein framed by scenes of progress and oppression. In-unit washers and dryers require board approval, and dogs are permitted with registration and approval.
The complex takes its name from William Henry Seward, the New York senator and Secretary of State who arranged the 1867 purchase of Alaska. Essex Crossing is a few blocks west, along with Essex Market, Trader Joe’s and Target. The F train stops at East Broadway, while the F, J, M and Z trains serve the Delancey Street Essex Street station.

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.
