222 East Broadway is one of the most ambitious for-sale developments the Lower East Side has produced: a two-part condominium that pairs a new tower with a restored 11-story Art Deco building, the former Bialystoker Home for the Aged. The combination gives buyers a genuine choice within a single condominium — sleek high-floor tower homes with open views, or loft residences in the converted Art Deco block — under one well-amenitized roof.
The development arrived as Lower East Side pricing approached record highs, and it was conceived to anchor the top of that market. Developed by Optimum Asset Management and designed by SLCE Architects with interiors by Paris Forino, it offers a depth of amenity and a scale of common space rarely seen this far downtown.
For buyers, the appeal is range and resources: 70 condominium homes from studios to four-bedrooms — including duplex loft penthouses and full-floor tower residences — with a 14,000-square-foot amenity package built around an indoor pool and a private park, in a neighborhood where new for-sale supply at this level is scarce.
Building operations
As a condominium, 222 East Broadway offers the ownership flexibility downtown buyers want. Financing is flexible — there are no co-op-style financing caps. There is no board admissions process — purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board package and interview. Pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment purchases are customary, and resale and subletting are materially freer than in a cooperative. Pets are permitted. The amenity program is the operational standout: an indoor pool with cabanas, a fitness center with a yoga studio, a screening room, a children's playroom, and a private landscaped park with a playground and barbecue areas — roughly 14,000 square feet of shared space that is exceptional for the neighborhood.

What to know if you’re buying
Decide on the component first — tower or loft — because they offer very different living experiences at different price points within the same building. The advantages of buying a new condominium apply throughout: flexible financing, no board interview, and the customary acceptance of pied-à-terre, trust, and LLC purchases. The amenity package is a real value driver and a differentiator at resale. Diligence centers on the offering plan, common-charge and tax projections, the sponsor's warranty, and the specific home's component, floor, and exposure. We help buyers read the plan, weigh tower against loft, and benchmark the pricing.
What to know if you’re selling
A resale trades on the building's distinctive offering: a choice of tower or loft living, an amenity package anchored by an indoor pool and a private park, and a top-of-market position on the Lower East Side. The marketing job is to present the specific home — its component, light, and views — and to lean on the shared amenities and the scarcity of comparable new product. The comparison set is the newest Lower East Side condominiums, and condominium closing mechanics keep the path predictable for the flexibility-minded buyer this building attracts.
