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.
