Property Description for 1200 Broadway, 5-B

SUN-FILLED NOMAD LOFT IN ICONIC GILSEY HOUSE
A grand-scale, meticulously reimagined loft in one of Manhattan's most celebrated cast-iron landmarks.

Located at 1200 Broadway, Apartment 5B spans approximately 2,170 square feet (per offering plan) and is defined by soaring 11'10" ceilings, expansive proportions, and open southern exposures that flood the home with natural light throughout the day.

Originally constructed between 1869 and 1871 and opened in 1872 as the famed 300-room Gilsey Hotel, the building remains one of New York's most architecturally significant cast-iron structures, distinguished by ornate detailing, dramatic columns, and its iconic three-story mansard roof. Today, it is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The residence has been meticulously gut-renovated and rebuilt from the studs in 2021 by the Brooklyn-based architectural firm Harper Design + Build, seamlessly blending historic loft character with modern systems and refined design. The renovation was comprehensive in scope, delivering an essentially new residence within a historic loft envelope, including enhanced insulation and soundproofing, new subflooring, and fully updated electrical systems and panels.

A generous great room anchors the home, offering exceptional scale for both entertaining and everyday living. The adjacent chef's kitchen is outfitted with marble countertops and a full suite of premium appliances, including Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf range and microwave, and a Cove dishwasher. A custom bar with integrated wine refrigeration, located within the dining area, adds both function and sophistication.

The home offers two well-proportioned bedrooms along with two and a half bathrooms. The primary suite features substantial closet space, including a walk-in, and a spa-like bath finished in natural stone with custom tilework, radiant heated floors, and a Toto bidet toilet. The second full bath is equally well appointed, and a separate powder room adds convenience for guests. A Miele washer/dryer is discreetly located in a separate, dedicated laundry room with ample storage including a spacious attic.

Modern living is further enhanced by a fully integrated Savant home automation system controlling audio-visual, climate, lighting, and motorized Lutron shades. Central heating and air conditioning and designer lighting complete this turnkey residence.

The Gilsey House is an intimate, eight-story prewar cooperative with just 40 residences. Amenities include keyed elevator access, a seven-day superintendent/porter who accepts deliveries and dry cleaning, video intercom, bike storage, private storage, and a central laundry room. Pieds-à-terre, live/work use, and pets are permitted.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of NoMad, the building is moments from Madison Square Park, Eataly, and Rizzoli Books, along with acclaimed dining destinations including Zaytinya, The Smith, Ulivo, Cecconi's, Wagamama, Shake Shack, and Eleven Madison Park. The Ned, Ace Hotel, and Ritz-Carlton are nearby, as are Whole Foods, Fairway, and Trader Joe's. Multiple transportation options-including the N, R, W, 1, and 6 trains and PATH-are all within easy reach.

Fully renovated lofts of this scale and quality are rarely available in Gilsey House-and are seldom found in NoMad.

An exceptional opportunity to own a light-filled, architecturally significant residence in one of downtown Manhattan's most iconic buildings.

NoMad | Manhattan

Quick Profile

NoMad, North of Madison Square Park, is a rectangular swath of land that is bordered by East 25th Street to the south, East 29th Street to the north, Sixth Avenue to the west, and depending who you ask, Madison or Lexington Avenue to the East. It’s had its acronymed name for over two decades but not every New Yorker calls the neighborhood NoMad.

Historic architecture, trendy hotels and restaurants and high-priced apartments - NoMad wasn’t always the coveted neighborhood that it is today. It’s gone through many transformations over the years. Including a red light district known as the Tenderloin in the 1880’s. It was a popular shopping destination and a place where high society held court in the mid 19th century. It was part of New York City’s Silicon Alley in the 1990’s.

As of lately, world class chefs and restaurants have moved into NoMad. It’s tied with Midtown Manhattan for having the most Michelin stars (six stars to date). Besides NoMad’s architecture, nightlife, and restaurants, we can’t forget the added perk of being close to other great neighborhoods and cultural institutions. NoMad’s central location makes it easier to get just about anywhere in the city. You can walk to Chelsea, West Village, Union Square or Grand Central Station in no time at all. The N, R, 1, 6, B, Q, F, and M are very close or just a few blocks away. Penn Station is also within walking distance.
