A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 543 Broadway 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.
543 Broadway stands in the center of the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District, on the stretch of Broadway that anchors the neighborhood's landmark architecture. Erected in 1903 to designs by John W. Stevens, it is a ten-story loft building distinguished by a white marble facade and a dramatic arched window enclosure at the third floor, with smaller arched windows near the top of the building.
The building was converted to residential condominium use, producing loft-scaled homes behind one of the more attractive marble fronts along this important commercial corridor. Its position in the protected historic district ties it to the preservation story of SoHo, one of the largest concentrations of cast-iron and early loft architecture in the world.
Pricing reflects the premium on authentic SoHo loft condominium space in a landmark building, including full-floor and penthouse product. Values move with floor, ceiling height, light and private outdoor space.
Architecture and building operations
Designed by John W. Stevens and completed in 1903, the building presents a white marble facade whose large third-floor arched window enclosure is among its defining features. Though the original cornice is no longer present, the marble front remains one of the more striking edifices on this block of Broadway. Interiors carry the volume, ceiling height and window scale characteristic of SoHo loft residences.
Operations: The building is elevator-served and configured as a boutique loft condominium, with the intimate staffing typical of a small-unit-count SoHo building. Specific services are confirmed through building records.

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.
