Summary

- New units priced up to $58.5m, a significant luxury market entry.
- Renovations highlight historical architectural details with modern amenities.
The Flatiron Building, a New York City icon for over a century, has completed a major renovation, transitioning from office spaces to ultra-luxury apartments. This transformation positions the 24-storey skyscraper as a symbol of the city's high-end real estate market, with residences priced up to $58.5 million.
The building's redevelopment focused on preserving its unique triangular shape and Beaux-Arts exterior, including restored terra-cotta details and new energy-efficient windows. Internally, the design embraces the architecture, exposing steel beams and incorporating historical elements like repurposed steel balustrades.
Original occupants included various companies, but after Macmillan Publishing moved out in 2019, the building sat vacant before its current owners began renovations in 2023. The conversion will yield 36 open-concept apartments, ranging from $11 million to $58.5 million for a five-bedroom unit.
Discoveries during renovation included a hidden balcony and a replicated revolving door from the 1910s. These historical finds, along with artifacts like old menus and tools, will be displayed in the lobby. New residents are expected to move in soon, with all amenities and units set for completion in early 2027.
