The Broadmoor is a 1920s Renaissance Revival residential hotel — designed by the prolific apartment-house architect George Fred Pelham and completed around 1927 — converted to a cooperative in 1985. It is the kind of building that gives upper Broadway its texture: a large pre-war corner house with a decorated limestone base, twisted "rope" columns, and a variegated brick facade, running roughly 345 apartments from studios through two-bedrooms.
The building's market position is an accessible, full-service pre-war doorman co-op with comparatively liberal policies. Where much of the Upper West Side's pre-war co-op stock permits little subletting and no pied-à-terre use, The Broadmoor's board is regarded as relatively flexible — subletting after a residency period, pieds-à-terre, and up to roughly 80 percent financing per brokerage records. That combination — pre-war character, full service, liberal rules, and an upper-Broadway basis below the trophy blocks to the south — defines the building's appeal.
Architecture and unit composition
Pelham's design is a serious pre-war effort: a rusticated limestone base under a variegated tan-brick shaft, animated by twisted "rope" columns and faux balconies that mark the building as a product of the 1920s residential-hotel era. The roughly 345 apartments — a large count that reflects the building's hotel origins — run from studios through two-bedroom lines, priced in cooperative practice by room count. As a former residential hotel, layouts run efficient, and renovation quality varies widely line to line. The building has no balconies, pool, gym, or garage; its outdoor amenity is the roof.
Building operations
The Broadmoor runs as a full-service cooperative: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, and bike and storage lockers, crowned by a glass-enclosed rooftop solarium and a landscaped roof deck with Hudson-direction views — a distinctive and genuinely usable outdoor amenity. There is no pool, gym, or garage. Maintenance charges are consistent with a large pre-war upper-Broadway co-op; the offering plan, house rules, and recent financial statements are on file in The Roebling Research Library, and a board interview is required for every purchase.
Recent sales
The Broadmoor trades in the accessible band of Upper West Side pre-war ownership, priced by unit type and condition — studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms span a broad range at a basis below the trophy blocks to the south. The relatively liberal board policies support a wider buyer pool than most pre-war co-ops, which aids liquidity, and the solarium and roof deck are genuine draws. Apartment-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01874-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
The liberal policies are the differentiator — confirm them. Subletting after a residency period, pieds-à-terre, and up to roughly 80 percent financing are reported. Verify the current terms against the by-laws; they widen your future options and your buyer pool at exit.
Price by room and condition. Cooperative pricing tracks room count and renovation level; the spread between original and updated lines is significant.
The roof is the amenity. There is no pool, gym, or garage; the solarium and roof deck are the building's outdoor offering. Weigh that against peers with fuller amenity stacks.
The pre-war character is real. Pelham's decorated base and facade give the building a presence its post-war peers lack — evaluate ceiling heights, light, and layout line by line.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for roughly six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the flexibility and the roof. The comparatively liberal sublet and pied-à-terre policies, plus the glass solarium and roof deck, are your differentiators against the neighborhood's stricter pre-war co-ops.
Position by room count and condition. Price against the building's own recent trades at comparable room counts and renovation levels.
Prepare the buyer for the board. A clean, well-prepared package shortens the path to approval; we help sellers vet buyer readiness before contract.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
