477 Broome Street is a classic SoHo cast-iron loft building — a six-story structure dating to 1873, originally built to serve the silk and molasses trade that ran through this district when Broome Street was a warehouse corridor rather than a shopping one. It sits between Greene and Wooster in the middle of the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, the largest concentration of cast-iron architecture in the world and one of the most-photographed streetscapes in Manhattan.
The building matters as a well-preserved, boutique loft cooperative in the district's core. Its 20 residences carry the features buyers come to SoHo for — soaring 11-to-14-foot ceilings, original Corinthian cast-iron columns, and pressed-tin ceilings — inside a restored cast-iron shell. It is a cooperative rather than a condominium, which shapes both the buyer pool and the transaction path, but it is a co-op with a genuine resale market, and the loft product is the draw.
Building operations
477 Broome runs as a boutique, well-managed cooperative — pet-friendly, with elevator service and video-intercom entry, and without the full-service doorman overhead of a larger building. The scale keeps carrying costs and staffing lean, in keeping with a 20-unit loft co-op.
As a cooperative, purchases here go through a board package and interview, and the board sets the maximum financing it will allow — buyers should confirm the financing cap early, because it can be more conservative than a condominium's. Pied-à-terre use, gifting, guarantor, and co-purchase arrangements are handled case by case, subject to board approval. Subletting is permitted after an initial ownership period, on terms the board sets. Buyers should review the co-op's financials and reserve position, and confirm the specific flip-tax, financing, and sublet terms against current building materials at offer stage.
Recent sales
As a cooperative, 477 Broome is read on a per-room basis rather than strictly per square foot, though the loft nature of the units means ceiling height and open volume factor heavily into value. This is a boutique, thin-resale building — with only 20 residences, closings are infrequent and each one carries weight in the comparable set. Underwriting is done unit by unit, because the loft floors differ so much in size, ceiling height, exposure, and renovation.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00475-7503) 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
Buying here follows the cooperative path: a board package, a board interview, and a board-set financing cap. Budget the diligence time to review the co-op's financial statements and reserve fund. The reasons to buy are specific — a restored cast-iron loft in the core of the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, with the ceiling heights and original ironwork that define the neighborhood, at the boutique scale and cooperative pricing that sit below SoHo's condominium loft tier. Confirm the specific unit's ceiling height, renovation condition, and the building's sublet and pied-à-terre posture during due diligence.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is SoHo at its most authentic — an 1870s cast-iron building, cast-iron columns and tin ceilings, in the protected district's heart. Pricing should be apartment-specific: ceiling height, floor, exposure, layout, and renovation drive value, and per-room framing anchors the read. Positioning should reach buyers who specifically want a loft inside a historic cast-iron building and who are comfortable with the cooperative structure — a pool that overlaps with, but is distinct from, the SoHo condominium-loft buyer.
