A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 525 Broome Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
525 Broome Street is a brick loft building designed by George Keister for Harry S. Meyer in 1897. Its façade combines Romanesque and Renaissance Revival details, including corbelled brickwork and round-arched upper openings. The original cornice has been removed, and windows have changed over time. The American Nut & Screw Building condominium has five residential units. The building also contains commercial space at the base, including ground-floor and cellar space used for a restaurant.
Residential interiors retain the breadth of a commercial loft floor, with open living areas and exposed structural columns. Full-floor layouts accommodate different bedroom arrangements within wide, deep interiors. The penthouse occupies multiple levels and includes private outdoor space above the main façade. Keyed elevator access serves the residences; internal stairs are part of the multilevel layouts. Roof terraces and other outdoor areas are specific to the homes that include them. The historic-district designation applies to exterior changes, including work visible above the roofline.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00476-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
