285 West Broadway Property Overview

Building Address: 285 W Broadway, New York NY 10013
Building Alternate Address: 285 W Broadway

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.
