684 Broadway is a trophy loft cooperative in the heart of NoHo — a 1905 Renaissance Revival building on the northeast corner of Broadway and Great Jones Street, converted to a small collection of full- and half-floor residential lofts. With twelve stories, two lofts per floor, and key-locked elevators that open directly into the apartments, the building offers the private-landing loft living that defines the best of the neighborhood, inside the protected NoHo Historic District.
For the buyer who wants a genuine downtown loft — twelve-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and grand floor plates — with the cost discipline of a cooperative rather than the premium of a condominium, 684 Broadway is a clean proposition: a small, high-end loft co-op on one of NoHo's great corners, in a designated landmark district.
Building operations
The cooperative runs lean and characteristically loft: a visiting superintendent rather than a live-in one, video-intercom entry rather than a staffed doorman, and two key-locked passenger elevators that open directly into the units. The lobby retains its original terrazzo floors; residents have private locked basement storage, and there is a rooftop terrace. The lean staffing model is typical and appropriate for a 22-unit loft co-op of this scale, and a meaningful factor in keeping maintenance charges contained.
As a cooperative, ownership is by shares rather than deed: purchases require board approval and a board interview, financing is capped at a board-set percentage, and pied-à-terre, gifting, guarantor, and co-purchase arrangements are evaluated case by case. Subletting is permitted, with terms set by the board, and the building is pet-friendly. The exact financing maximum, any flip tax, and current sublet rules vary by board policy and should be confirmed at offer stage.

Recent sales
Co-op pricing is read on a per-room basis, and 684 Broadway trades as a top-tier loft cooperative — few, large, full- and half-floor homes with grand proportions and NoHo pedigree. With only 22 residences and two per floor, resale volume is thin: a small number of closings in an active year, running to the larger three- and four-bedroom loft tier, with a penthouse at the top of the stack. Demand here is driven by the NoHo address, the loft scale, and the value a co-op structure offers relative to the neighborhood's loft condominiums. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the room count, the floor, the exposure, the ceiling height, and the renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00531-0001) 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
This is a cooperative, so the path is a board package and interview, a financing cap set by the board, and underwriting of the building's financials and house rules. Note the operational realities up front: this is a lean-staffed loft building — a visiting super and video-intercom entry rather than a full-time doorman — which suits some buyers and not others. The building is pet-friendly and permits subletting on board terms. Review the co-op's financials, reserve, and any planned capital work, particularly given the building's age and its position within a landmark district, which can affect the cost and timeline of exterior work.
The reasons to buy are the loft and the value: a full- or half-floor NoHo loft with pre-war ceilings and light, a protected historic-district address on a great Broadway corner, and a cooperative cost structure that keeps the entry point and carrying costs below the loft condominium peers nearby.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the loft and the location. A private-landing full- or half-floor loft in a 1905 Renaissance Revival building, in the NoHo Historic District on the corner of Broadway and Great Jones, is a specific, marketable proposition that sells to a buyer who wants genuine downtown loft scale and is comfortable with a lean-staffed co-op. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: room count, floor, ceiling height, light, and condition drive the number more than any block average. We position the NoHo loft narrative, prepare the buyer for the co-op process, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of downtown loft cooperatives.
