Historic 1897 SoHo loft featuring 4,000 square feet with soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings and 18 oversized windows. Prime Cast Iron District location with artist pedigree and low maintenance in a live-work cooperative.
491 Broadway is a 12 story pre war cooperative in SoHo’s Cast Iron Historic District, with a brick and limestone façade designed by Buchman + Deisler. Its residential floors are zoned for Joint Live Work Quarters, preserving the building’s connection to SoHo’s loft tradition while accommodating residential use.
The apartments are organized around expansive, full floor lofts rather than conventional room by room layouts. Repeated features include barrel vaulted ceilings reaching roughly 11.5 feet, original structural columns, long sightlines, and large windows with eastern, southern, western, and, in some layouts, northern exposures. Upper floor homes have open views across lower Manhattan, including sightlines toward the Empire State Building.
Residential details include central air conditioning, built in storage, dedicated laundry areas, and basement storage cages of approximately 100 square feet. A rooftop is available to all residents, and the building has a video entry system that supports smartphone based visitor access. Pets are allowed.
Located between Spring and Broome Streets, 491 Broadway places its residents in the center of SoHo’s galleries, restaurants, shops, and historic cast iron streetscape. The cooperative owns its retail space, an arrangement reflected in the building’s maintenance structure, and has 12 residential units in a mixed use setting.

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.
