874 Broadway

The McIntyre Building is a landmarked 12-story elevator cooperative built in 1892 and prominently sited at Broadway and 18th Street in Manhattan’s Flatiron/Union Square area. Architecturally eclectic, its façade and corner tower blend Byzantine, Romanesque and neo‑Gothic details from the Gilded Age; a multi‑phase restoration earned the building a preservation award. The co‑op contains a small roster of residences (around two dozen units) that retain loft proportions: high ceilings (commonly 12 feet or more), oversized period windows—often oak or metal framed—and original prewar finishes such as hardwood floors, mosaic tile entries and exposed brick. Unit layouts vary widely; many are open-plan lofts with one‑bedroom or flexible sleeping loft configurations, generous storage, walk‑in closets, and features like reclaimed‑wood millwork, bespoke cabinetry, and modernized chef’s kitchens. Bathrooms range from renovated spalike stone-clad spaces to vintage fixtures and deep soaking tubs. Building services and policies reflect cooperative governance: elevator access, video intercom, and board approval required for pets, pied‑a‑terres, sublets and financing levels (board permits commonly available). Onsite conveniences in many residences include in‑unit washers/dryers, individually controlled HVAC systems, and supplemental common storage. Its doorstep location places residents a block from Union Square Park, the Greenmarket, multiple subway lines, restaurants and shops, offering an urban live/work lifestyle anchored in historic character and strong natural light.
