285 West Broadway, also known as the Rawitser Building, is a distinctive Beaux-Arts style property located at the southeast corner of Canal Street and West Broadway in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. Originally completed in 1915, the building was designed by the architectural firm Brunner & Tryon.

The Rawitser Building was initially constructed as a six-story "brick store and loft," prominently featuring a brick façade with decorative elements characteristic of the Beaux-Arts style. The building’s design includes a chamfered corner with a notable storefront entrance crowned by a round opening adorned with elaborate carvings. Cast-iron show windows on the ground floor provide abundant natural light to the retail spaces, while the upper floors are divided by prominent cornices and faced with buff brick that mimics the banded stone of the lower levels. The top two floors are particularly ornate, with arched pediments, lion heads, blind roundels, and floral carvings accentuating the façade.

Historically, 285 West Broadway housed a variety of tenants including manufacturers like the International Arithmachine Co., which produced early hand-held calculators, and other commercial occupants such as window shade manufacturers and retailers. The building also played host to cultural venues like the Roberts Arts Gallery and the Canal Room music venue, as well as the Smoke Stacks Lightnin’ bar and the Tsubaki House jazz cabaret through the 20th century.

In the late 1980s, the building was converted from its original industrial use to creative office space. Today, it offers approximately 50,000 square feet of Class B office space across six floors, accommodating tenants in sectors such as media, public relations, advertising, architecture, and design. Its location at the corner of Canal Street and West Broadway provides excellent access to multiple subway lines and proximity to the vibrant retail and dining scene in Tribeca.

We love a challenge!

Optimal Spaces can help you turn critical and complex real estate issues into opportunities for growth and or cost reduction. We offer the experience, know-how, and the strategic planning that helps lead to better decisions. Virtually everything you need to enhance the value of your business (for profit and not for profit) , you will find at Optimal Spaces.

About Optimal Spaces
Optimal Spaces are Tenant Brokers, only representing commercial tenants, not owners or landlords. By contrast, managing agents and most commercial brokers are "landlord agents" representing the interest of owners. Their goal is to market and lease their clients' properties with the best possible terms for the owners. Thus, they will neither show you as broad a selection nor push to get the best price, since their loyalty is to the Landlord. An Optimal Spaces agent will show you a broader range of properties and offer you a broader range of important services than a managing agent or commercial broker will. We will provide you with a market survey, floor plans, pricing expectations , and access to our rolodex: Optimal Spaces walks you through the process from start to finish. Upon entering your new space, it will look the way you want, all at the price you agreed to spend. In addition to negotiating the best price, we will reveal and abate many "hidden costs" to you. We will show you all the relevant available spaces and safeguard your interests throughout the process. Because of tour costs to provide these services, we ask in exchange that clients sign an Exclusive Brokerage Agreement. This allows us to plan appropriately for assisting you with every step of the process.
