426 West Broadway is the SoHo loft condominium in its most authentic register: an 1883 neo-Grec store-and-loft building, converted to residential ownership in 1984, on the West Broadway spine at the heart of the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District. Six stories of brick and stone with true loft floor plates that run through the block to Thompson Street, it offers the volume, light, and industrial bones that define the SoHo product — in a boutique unit count with an elevator and an attended lobby.
The building carries a genuine architectural pedigree. It was designed by Robert Mook and built in 1883 for Amos R. Eno, one of 19th-century New York's most consequential real estate developers. Originally a commercial store-and-loft — ground-floor retail with manufacturing and warehouse lofts above — it was among the SoHo buildings folded into the Cast Iron district's 2010 boundary extension, which formally protected the West Broadway blockfront. The district name notwithstanding, the building itself is masonry, not iron-fronted; its neo-Grec detailing, banding, and pedimented cornice are the architectural signature.
For buyers, the thesis is authenticity plus location: real loft volume in a landmarked SoHo building, on the retail-gallery spine, with the scarcity that comes from a small conversion-era unit count.
Architecture and unit composition
The building rises six stories in brick and stone in the neo-Grec idiom, with elements suggestive of the Queen Anne style — stone banding, exposed iron tie plates, projecting sills, beveled lintels, and a corbelled cornice crowned by a central pediment. The lot runs through the block, giving upper-floor lofts a second exposure at 102–104 Thompson Street. The roughly 34 residential units are true loft conversions — open floor plates with the ceiling height and window scale of the original manufacturing floors — with wood-burning fireplaces and private terraces in some homes. The ground floor remains retail, with a lower-level component that has housed recording studios.
Building operations
This is boutique loft-condo ownership with a light-service model: an elevator, a part-time doorman/attended lobby, building and in-unit laundry, a roof deck, basement storage, and a package room. Condominium governance at this scale is intimate; the offering plan and by-laws should be reviewed carefully during diligence — including the allocation of storage and laundry, which listing records note are not deeded with the units — and we obtain current building documents from the managing agent for clients at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00502-7501) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
The loft volume is the product. True 1883 store-and-loft floor plates with the light and ceiling height of the original building — verify the specific unit's exposure and whether it carries the through-block Thompson Street frontage.
Landmark status shapes alteration. The building sits in the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District (2010 Extension); exterior work is regulated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Factor the district framework into any renovation planning.
Light-service, boutique count. A part-time doorman and a roof deck across roughly 34 owners. If the model fits, run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator against full-service alternatives.
Mansion tax applies across the building. Loft pricing here crosses the $1 million, $2 million, and higher thresholds — run the Mansion Tax Calculator at the intended price before offering.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the authenticity. An 1883 Robert Mook / Amos Eno building in the Cast Iron district is a genuine SoHo pedigree — lead with the architecture and the landmark status.
Use adjacent-building comps. With roughly 34 heterogeneous lofts, your own building's history is thin; the surrounding SoHo loft-condo stock is the right comp set, adjusted for condition and floor plate.
The through-block units are distinct. Lofts with the Thompson Street exposure should be marketed separately for their light and dual frontage.
