1600 Broadway is one of the very few places in Manhattan where you can own an apartment directly above Times Square. Completed in 2005 by Sherwood Equities, the 25-story glass tower wraps the northwest corner of the Square, and many of its 137 condominium units look straight out over Broadway and the neon spectacle below. It is a ground-up condominium — not a conversion — designed for buyers who want the energy and the view rather than prewar quiet.
The building's identity is its location. There is no comparable residential address in the geographic heart of the Theater District, surrounded by Broadway theaters, the TKTS steps, the subway hub at Times Square–42nd Street, and the full Midtown commercial core. For the right buyer — a pied-à-terre owner, an investor, or someone who genuinely wants to live in the middle of the action — that singularity is the entire pitch.
The trade-off is equally clear: this is the opposite of a quiet residential side street. The building leans into spectacle, full-service convenience, and a turn-key amenity package rather than understated prewar character. Buyers self-select accordingly.
Architecture and unit composition
1600 Broadway is a modern glass curtain-wall tower. The defining feature is the corner geometry and the floor-to-ceiling glass, which deliver direct Times Square and Broadway outlooks from many units — a view that exists nowhere else in residential Manhattan. The building's 25 stories are modest by Midtown standards, but the position at the Square is what creates the value, not the altitude.
The 137 condominium units run primarily to one- and two-bedroom layouts, with penthouse-level inventory at the top. Interiors are 2000s new-construction quality, and the open glass exposures are the recurring selling point. Because the value is so heavily tied to orientation — Times Square-facing units versus side or rear exposures — apartment-level analysis is essential.
Building operations
1600 Broadway operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, the "Club on the Square" residents' lounge (with a pool table, bar, and catering kitchen), a fitness center, a golf simulator, a conference room, a common outdoor terrace with Times Square views, a common roof deck, and elevators. The amenity package is consistent with a turn-key, full-service product designed for buyers who value convenience and on-site facilities.
As with any condominium, common charges and property taxes drive the monthly carry. The building is pet-friendly (weight and breed restrictions apply) and investor-friendly. The Roebling Research Library can provide the offering plan, current rules, and recent financials during due diligence.
Recent sales
Sales here price on a price-per-square-foot basis, as with any condominium, and the value map is dominated by exposure: Times Square-facing units command a clear premium over side and rear orientations. The building trades as a full-service Midtown product, with closings historically ranging from roughly the low millions for two-bedrooms up through penthouse pricing at the top. Because the appeal is so view-dependent, a single average understates the spread; price any specific apartment by its orientation, floor, and condition. Investor demand has historically supported the building given its flexible rules and central location.

What to know if you’re buying
Exposure is the value driver. A Times Square-facing unit is a fundamentally different product — and price band — than a side or rear exposure. Decide what you're buying.
Understand the location's nature. This is the most energetic address in Manhattan, not a quiet one. View the unit and the surroundings before committing.
Flexible for your use. The building is investor- and pied-à-terre-friendly under the declaration.
Model the full carry. Common charges + property taxes + utilities + insurance. Run any purchase near a mansion-tax threshold through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Condo flexibility is real. Expect condo-fast closings (roughly 30–45 days) and a financing-friendly process.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the view. A Times Square-facing exposure is the singular asset in residential Manhattan; foreground it.
Price by orientation. Comparables must match exposure; a side-facing unit is not comparable to a Square-facing one.
Market to the right buyer. Pied-à-terre owners, investors, and buyers who want the energy are the pool; reach them.
Closings are condo-fast. Roughly 30–45 days from contract to closing.
