A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Downtown by Starck would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
15 Broad Street (Downtown by Starck) is the only Philippe Starck-designed residential building in NYC — a 2005 conversion of the 1914 Trowbridge & Livingston J.P. Morgan office building adjacent to the New York Stock Exchange.
Its scarcity value comes down to the Philippe Starck-designed-residential pedigree — the designer's only such NYC commission, the magnet for design-collector buyer interest. That singular interior sits inside an equally singular shell, the former J.P. Morgan office building provenance at 15 Broad, directly adjacent to the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Hall National Memorial. And what the conversion drew out of that shell is unusual reach: 150+ floor plans rank among the most architecturally varied condominium unit-mix configurations in NYC residential, broadening the building's buyer pool.
Architecture and building operations
Original 1914 building by Trowbridge & Livingston as a J.P. Morgan office building at 15 Broad Street — adjacent to the NYSE (also Trowbridge & Livingston, 1903) and the Federal Hall National Memorial. The Trowbridge & Livingston body of work also includes the original Bankers Trust Building at 14 Wall Street and the J.P. Morgan headquarters at 23 Wall Street — anchoring the firm's status as the architect-of-record for early-20th-century Wall Street institutional infrastructure.
The 2005 Boymelgreen conversion by Philippe Starck with Ismael Leyva preserved the landmarked exterior while integrating Starck-designed residential interiors. The building sits within the NYSE Historic District (1914). 150+ floor plans distribute across the building's 40 floors with 382 condominium residences.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; spa; private screening room; landscaped roof terrace; private storage; ground-floor retail.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
