718 Broadway is a quintessential downtown loft conversion: a 1908 cast-iron commercial building, designed by Charles E. Birge for the clothing manufacturers and wholesalers who once filled this stretch of lower Broadway, reborn as a cooperative of 40 live-work loft homes. With eleven stories of soaring ceilings and oversized windows, it sits squarely in the NoHo register that buyers covet — industrial bones, artistic provenance, and the flexible layouts that loft living is built on.
The location anchors the building at the seam of NoHo, Greenwich Village, and the East Village, near Washington Place and a short walk from Washington Square Park, the NYU campus, and the restaurant-and-retail density of lower Broadway and Astor Place. Transit is excellent — the 6 at Astor Place, the N/R/W at 8th Street, and the B/D/F/M at Broadway-Lafayette all within minutes. It is one of the most central and walkable downtown settings.
As a cooperative with notably flexible house rules, 718 Broadway gives owners unusual latitude to renovate and configure their lofts — a meaningful distinction in a market where many co-ops restrict exactly the changes loft buyers want to make.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's cast-iron-era origins are the asset. Built in 1908 as a functional manufacturing and wholesale building, it carries the deep floor plates, structural columns, and generous window walls that make prewar lofts so adaptable — and so desirable — a century later. The renovated marble lobby and modern video-intercom system bring the common areas up to contemporary standard while the building retains its industrial character.
The 40 loft residences run large, with the building's hallmark soaring ceilings — typically in the 11-to-13-foot range — plus oversized windows offering eastern, southern, or western exposures and original hardwood floors. The open plates lend themselves to the flexible, owner-tailored layouts that define authentic loft living. A landscaped roof deck crowns the building with 360-degree city views — a genuine amenity in a neighborhood where outdoor space is scarce.
Building operations
718 Broadway runs as a cooperative with superintendent service and the practical infrastructure of a well-managed loft building — central laundry, the video-intercom security system, and the landscaped roof deck among its shared features. The building is pet-friendly.
Its house rules are accommodating for renovators. The building has no "wet-over-dry" restriction, meaning owners may add or relocate kitchens and bathrooms, install washer/dryers, and add split-system air conditioning — flexibility that many co-ops withhold and that loft buyers value highly. As with any cooperative, purchases clear through a board review and admissions package, and the building's rules govern subletting and financing.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00545-0011) 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
The case for the building is authentic loft space, soaring ceilings, and unusually flexible house rules in a prime NoHo location. Buyers should evaluate each home for ceiling height, exposure, and how the open plate is configured, since loft layouts vary widely. The absence of a wet-over-dry restriction is a real advantage for buyers who plan to renovate — it removes the single most common obstacle to reconfiguring a loft.
Because it is a cooperative, plan for a board package and admissions process, and review the building's posture on subletting and financing before you commit. For owner-occupant buyers who want a true loft they can tailor, in the heart of downtown, the building's combination of space and flexibility is hard to match.
What to know if you’re selling
The marketing core is the loft and the rules: a 1908 cast-iron building with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, a roof deck with skyline views, and house rules that let buyers renovate freely. Sellers should foreground the ceiling height, the light, and the renovation flexibility — the attributes that separate a home here from co-ops with stricter alteration policies.
Inventory is limited and turnover unhurried, so a well-prepared listing competes against few direct peers. Pricing should be benchmarked against the building's own activity and comparable NoHo and downtown loft cooperatives, with ceiling height, exposure, and condition driving the final number. Presenting a clean board package and emphasizing the renovation latitude is the path to the smoothest transaction.
