JLL Capital Markets has been tasked with marketing the sale of a two-story loft-style building located at 496 Broome Street. This iconic property, once home to John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the 1970s, is now available for purchase after being held by its current owners for over five decades.
Positioned on the North side of Broome Street between Wooster Street and West Broadway, this building boasts a ground floor space reminiscent of an art gallery with soaring ceilings reaching 14.4 feet high. The main level also features an open kitchen and a bedroom loft while the upper floor offers a spacious live-work area along with what was once used as a recording studio.
With air rights totaling up to 4,600 square feet and zoning that allows for three additional floors to be added pending Landmarks approval, this property has potential gross floor area reaching approximately 7,500 square feet above grade.
Leading JLL’s Investment Sales and Advisory team are Paul Smadbeck and Guthrie Garvin who have expressed their excitement about representing such an exceptional opportunity in New York City’s real estate market. “496 Broome St. not only holds significant historical value but also presents itself as an attractive investment opportunity,” stated Smadbeck confidently.
