Reply to comment by msa1124 in Historic Flatiron Building sells for $190 million at auction by Orener

It’s not gonna be good as a condo. The weird shape of the building significantly limits the shape of the building. Not to mention it’s landmarked. It’s also iconic, meaning there’ll be people taking pictures outside constantly. Lastly, it’s on 23rd, and not exactly luxury real estate.

The actual luxury buildings in the area sit on 22nd and are nice and quiet while still having park view.

Converting the floor plans for use as condos could be a little awkward, but I have to think it would be easier than converting the postwar super wide office towers to condos, no?

Yeah for sure. A huge problem with converting most office buildings to residential is that NYC requires a window for every bedroom; shouldn't be an issue for the Flatiron bldg.

Uh, you’re literally proving my point? I was referring to both One Madison and MSP Tower, both of which have their entrance on 22nd, a much quieter street, not that you’d know. I’ve literally been on top of both.

Also, please stop spamming me with the same stuff thanks.
