Flatiron Building Opens as 36 Luxury Condominiums as First Residents Move In

The conversion signals a shift in Manhattan real estate from old offices to high‑end homes with final fit‑outs due by early 2027.

Overview

  • The Brodsky Organization confirmed that closings have begun and the first residents moved into the 36 condominium homes on Monday, November 2, 2026.
  • A multi‑year, Landmarks‑approved exterior restoration is complete and repaired limestone, brick and terracotta, replicated thousands of terra‑cotta elements, restored the six‑foot cornice, and replaced more than 1,000 windows under NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission oversight.
  • Interiors by Studio Sofield feature private elevator‑entry vestibules, marble mosaic floors, custom kitchens and Ketra lighting, and residents gain access to amenities including a 60‑foot lap pool, fitness center with sauna and cold plunge, golf simulator, lounges and private wine cellars.
  • The building’s LED exterior illumination by L’Observatoire International has been installed with LPC approval, and sales remain active with some units listed from $14.85 million and a full‑floor 20th‑floor listing at $53.5 million.
  • The conversion followed a public 2023 ownership dispute and auction that sources report with differing sale prices ($161.5 million and $165.1 million), and the project’s opening and planned 2027 ground‑floor restaurant reflect a broader trend of turning older Manhattan offices into luxury homes.
