542 Broadway is a six story, 11 unit pre-war co-op in SoHo whose white marble façade is marked by Corinthian columns and three marble caryatids overlooking Broadway. The building's history reaches back to 1864, and the American Express Company operated a branch here from 1871 well into the 20th century.
The residences are lofts, with spacious open layouts and a strong concentration of original cast iron details. Many apartments have ceilings around 12 feet high, exposed brick, oversized windows, and recurring elements such as wood burning fireplaces, crown moldings, and in-unit laundry. Renovated homes pair these features with open kitchens, contemporary bathrooms, central air, and substantial storage.
Outdoor space is part of the building's range as well: Apartment 2R has a private terrace of approximately 500 square feet, an unusual extension of its loft layout. The building also has an intercom, and its location between Prince and Spring Streets puts it directly on Broadway's SoHo shopping and dining corridor.
Cai Guo-Qiang, the artist associated with the fireworks display at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is a notable former or current resident. The building retains its historic exterior while its common areas have been undergoing updates, including a lobby renovation.

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.
