A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 806 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.
806 Broadway occupies one of the more strategic addresses in lower Manhattan — a cooperative in a nineteenth-century converted commercial building on Broadway between 11th and 12th Streets, the exact point where Greenwich Village, NoHo, and Union Square meet. The 806–808 Broadway structure was designed in 1887 as a manufacturing building by Renwick, Aspinwall & Russell. Its current elevator service, secured entry, apartment plans and systems should be assessed from the conversion and subsequent work records rather than a post-war new-construction premise.
The position is the building's defining asset. From the front door, residents are within a few minutes' walk of Union Square — its subway hub, Greenmarket, and dense retail — and equally close to the cafés, bookstores, and restaurants of the Village and NoHo. For buyers who want the location of Greenwich Village this historic conversion is an option whose current systems, repairs and operating costs should be evaluated directly.
Architecture and unit composition
806 Broadway occupies the historic 806–808 Broadway commercial-loft structure designed in 1887 by Renwick, Aspinwall & Russell. Its roughly 65 cooperative residences include studios and one- and two-bedroom homes; confirm individual layouts, ceiling heights and renovation history from unit plans. Current systems may reflect several generations of work, so review recent engineering reports and board materials rather than assigning them a 1982 construction baseline.
Building operations
The cooperative runs as a full-service elevator building with secured entry, on-site laundry, and storage. Day-to-day operations are handled by building staff including superintendent coverage. As a cooperative, purchases clear a board application, financial review, and interview, and the building's policies on subletting, pets, and financing are set by the board; prospective buyers should expect a standard co-op admissions process. Elevator service affects daily access, but confirm the actual entrance route and apartment needs rather than inferring accessibility or lower maintenance from construction era.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).

What to know if you’re buying
The case for buying here is location and practicality. You are buying one of the best-connected corners in downtown Manhattan — minutes from Union Square's subway lines and the full retail and dining density of the Village and NoHo. Evaluate the historic conversion and its elevator service — confirm the condition of the systems in recent engineering reports and board materials. Expect a standard cooperative purchase: a board package, financial review, and interview, with the board governing subletting and financing terms. Evaluate each home on floor, light, and renovation level. We help buyers present a strong board package and benchmark the home against the broader downtown co-op market.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the address and the convenience. A full-service, elevatored co-op steps from Union Square is exactly what location-first buyers search for, with historic loft-conversion character to describe accurately; have recent engineering reports and board materials ready to support it. Benchmark to the Greenwich Village and Union Square co-op set, and present the home to show its light and any renovations to full effect. A clean, well-prepared board package speeds the process; we manage that alongside pricing and positioning.

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.
