806 Broadway occupies one of the more strategic addresses in lower Manhattan — a 1982 cooperative on Broadway between 11th and 12th Streets, the exact point where Greenwich Village, NoHo, and Union Square meet. Unlike the converted lofts and pre-war walk-ups that dominate the surrounding blocks, this is a purpose-built post-war elevator cooperative, which gives it advantages those older buildings cannot match: a full elevator system, modern mechanicals, secured entry, and the consistent floor plans and ceiling heights of a building designed from the ground up as residential.
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 without the maintenance quirks of a 19th-century building, a well-run 1982 co-op at this address is a practical, livable choice.
Architecture and unit composition
806 Broadway is a seven-story masonry apartment building in the restrained late-modern idiom of its era — built for function and durability rather than ornament, with regular window lines and a straightforward residential massing that sits comfortably among its older Broadway neighbors. Its roughly 65 residences run to efficient, well-proportioned layouts: studios and one- and two-bedroom homes with the practical room dimensions, closet space, and consistent ceiling heights typical of early-1980s construction. As a building of this vintage, it offers move-in-ready living with modern systems — a contrast to the higher-maintenance pre-war and loft stock nearby, and an appeal to buyers who prioritize a turnkey home in a prime location.
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. The post-war construction and elevator service make the building accessible and low-friction relative to the walk-ups common in the surrounding Village blocks.

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. The post-war construction means a turnkey home — elevator, modern systems, consistent layouts — without the upkeep surprises of a 19th-century building. 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, and the turnkey nature of post-war construction is a selling point against the maintenance demands of nearby pre-war stock. 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.
