176 Broadway is a pre-war limestone cooperative from 1927, standing at the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane in the heart of the Financial District. Built in the era when Lower Manhattan was still primarily a commercial district, it is one of the relatively few genuine pre-war residential cooperatives downtown — a category that gives buyers the architectural substance of an older building together with the established, owner-run governance of a co-op, in a neighborhood that has otherwise been reshaped by condominium conversion and new construction.
The case for the building is location and bones. It sits one block from the Fulton Street Transit Center, the downtown hub where nearly every subway line in the city converges, making it one of the most transit-connected residential addresses in Manhattan. The pre-war limestone construction delivers what older buildings do best: high ceilings, gracious entry galleries, and large windows with open city views from the upper floors.
For a buyer who wants a real pre-war co-op rather than a converted loft or a glass tower, and who values the unmatched transit access of the Fulton corridor, 176 Broadway is a distinctive option in a part of town where it has few peers.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a fourteen-story pre-war limestone structure, dignified and solid in the manner of late-1920s Lower Manhattan. The 76 residences carry the markers of their era: many feature gracious entry galleries, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and the large windows that admit strong light and frame city outlooks — particularly from the higher floors, where the views open up across the financial core. The layouts reflect pre-war planning logic, with defined rooms and circulation rather than the open plans of newer construction.
The common areas have been kept current, with renovated hallways and modernized elevators supporting the building's standing as an established Financial District cooperative.
Building operations
176 Broadway is a well-run cooperative with a part-time doorman (covering the daytime hours) and, importantly, a live-in resident manager who oversees the building day to day. The amenity set is practical and unusually convenient: a landscaped roof deck with open views, laundry on every floor — a real comfort that many buildings consolidate into a single basement room — private storage, and a bike room. The cooperative is regarded as financially established and conservatively managed. As with any co-op, purchases proceed through a board package and interview, and buyers should expect the standard diligence on finances and intended use.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.

What to know if you’re buying
The buying case is value plus location: a genuine pre-war co-op at a price below the condominium stock around it, one block from the city's deepest transit hub. The cooperative structure means a board package and interview and the financing and sublet terms the board sets, so buyers should confirm those terms early and prepare a clean application. The trade-off is real substance — limestone construction, gallery layouts, a roof deck, and per-floor laundry — in a neighborhood where comparable character is scarce. We help buyers read the building's financials, understand the board's posture, and identify the layouts and floors with the best light and views.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling story is the combination that nothing else downtown quite matches: a pre-war limestone cooperative, with a roof deck and a live-in manager, one block from Fulton Street. Positioning should lead with the transit access and the pre-war character, then the roof deck and the per-floor laundry, and anchor pricing to the downtown cooperative set rather than to the pricier condominiums nearby. The co-op's lower entry point relative to surrounding condos is itself a selling point to first-time and value-oriented buyers. We market each apartment against the most recent comparable closings and the building's particular location and character advantages.
