832 Broadway is a ten-story Renaissance Revival store-and-loft building at the Greenwich Village / Union Square crossroads, on Broadway between East 12th and 13th Streets. Built in 1896 to the design of architect Ralph S. Townsend and originally built for necktie and garment manufacture, it was converted from loft to cooperative around 1982. It is part of a combined 830–832 Broadway cooperative: 832 holds roughly nine full-floor homes, and the two joined buildings total approximately 19 units.
The proposition is a full-floor loft home in an individually landmarked building at one of the best-connected addresses downtown. Designated in 2019 as the "832–834 Broadway Building," it carries protected architectural status, and its floor-through residences deliver a scale that few co-ops can match. Steps from Union Square, the Greenmarket, and every major subway line, it is a rare, tightly held loft address.
Building operations
The cooperative offers a curated, loft-appropriate service set: refurbished key-locked passenger and freight elevators, video intercom, and a bike room, with superintendent service and no full doorman — the right level for a boutique loft co-op, and a factor in keeping maintenance contained. The key-locked passenger elevator reinforces the full-floor homes' sense of private, direct access.
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, sublet, gifting, and guarantor arrangements are evaluated case by case. Confirm the current pet policy, financing maximum, any flip tax, and sublet terms with the board at offer stage.
Recent sales
Co-op pricing is conventionally read on a per-room basis, but at 832 Broadway the full-floor loft scale drives values well above a typical per-room figure — a floor-through, for example, recently asked approximately $5.55M. With only about nine full-floor homes in the 832 portion, resale volume is thin, with a small number of closings in an active year. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, weigh the full-floor square footage, the floor, the exposure, and renovation condition rather than relying on a conventional per-room average. Genuinely variable financial figures should be confirmed at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00564-0036) 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. Read the rules on the points that matter to you — the pet policy, financing maximum, and sublet terms — and review the co-op's reserve and any planned capital work given the building's age and landmark status. The reasons to buy are the address and the scale: an individually landmarked full-floor loft home at the Union Square crossroads.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the full-floor loft and the landmark pedigree. The 1896 Renaissance Revival architecture, Ralph S. Townsend's design, the 2019 individual landmark designation, and the floor-through scale sell to a specific buyer who wants a trophy loft near Union Square. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: full-floor square footage, floor, light, and condition drive the number more than any per-room average. We position the building's protected character and full-floor scale, prepare the buyer for the co-op process, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of landmarked loft cooperatives.
