The Forward Building is a prewar conversion in the Lower East Side that advances Manhattan condos forward into the future. The apartments for sale at 175 East Broadway have the groundwork of a pre-war apartment with astronomically high ceilings and unusual layouts but also have the refinement of a conversion with an array of modern-day amenities to accompany a busy New York City lifestyle.

Just a few blocks from the East River, on 78 Ridge Street, is the River Ridge Condominiums building on the Lower East Side. This pre-war loft condo conversion was built in 1930. It stands 6 stories tall, and holds residences of all sizes: one- and two-bedroom suites, as well as duplexes and penthouses. These condos for sale in Manhattan are built with an eye towards luxury, and the amenities included in the River Ridge Condominiums building complete a picture of perfect comfort.
