8 Story Class B Office Building

Tucked between Spring and Broome Streets in the vibrant SoHo district, 495 Broadway stands as one of New York City’s few surviving examples of Art Nouveau architecture. Designed by Alfred Zucker in 1893 for industrialist Augustus D. Juilliard, the building—originally known as the New Era Building—was intended for a printing firm but found its true legacy as the headquarters of Butler Brothers, pioneers of the mail-order retail movement. Today, this landmark building continues to inspire as a creative hub for professionals in media, publishing, and fashion.

This eight-story architectural treasure offers 90,000 square feet of flexible Class B office space in the heart of Midtown South. With average floor plates of 10,000 square feet and approximately 5,000 square feet of street-level retail, 495 Broadway is well-suited for innovative businesses looking for a location that blends functionality with historic charm. Now under the ownership of Texport Fabrics, the property has seen recent upgrades to its lobby and lower façade.

Tenants benefit from elevated ceiling heights, two self-service passenger elevators, an attended freight elevator, and around-the-clock building access. Located in one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods, 495 Broadway provides seamless transit options with nearby access to the 2, 3, 6, C, E, F, N, and R subway lines—along with abundant shopping and dining experiences right outside the door.

2024 SoHo office space asking rent price is: between $85 and $50 per square foot.
