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.
A look backward in time at The Forward Building, now a landmark site in the Lower East Side, shows that it once housed the first Jewish language newspaper. The building has an exterior lighting configuration on its terracotta and deeply inset windows. The unusual layouts of the apartments for sale are very open and airy, with ceilings ranging in height from 11 to 25 feet tall. Generous space continues through the open, eat-in kitchen with modern appliances and carries on into the open living room with working gas fireplace. The interiors of the condos for sale at The Forward Building truly give a look backward to prewar Manhattan while reaching forward with its amenities.
Common to a New York City condo, The Forward Building offers the expected amenities including a modern laundry facility on premise, storage and bike rooms, and 24-hour doorman. A Siedle video intercom system is installed in each apartment for sale. A rooftop deck provides spectacular views of neighboring Seward Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Lower East Side and the rest of downtown Manhattan. Nearby many cafes, bars, markets, and restaurants, The Forward Building is in a convenient and pleasing Lower East Side location.
