About the Building

The Flatiron District

The Flatiron District, an extremely popular and affluent neighborhood in Midtown South Manhattan was named in 1985 after the Flatiron Building (175 Fifth Avenue), a world-renowned, 21-story, 255,000 square foot Class-A office building recognized by its distinct and unique triangular shape, located at the juncture of Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 23rd Street. The Flatiron District encompasses the area from 14th Street (Union Square Park) to 23rd Street (Madison Square Park) to the north, and east and west from Park Avenue South to Sixth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue and Broadway are the Flatiron District’s major thoroughfares, and both run southwards right in the middle of this beautiful neighborhood. The birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt, 28 East 20th Street in Flatiron, is a national historic site, and a grand bronze statue of President Roosevelt atop his stallion greets residents, office workers, and tourists as they enter Madison Square Park at 23rd Street.

The Flatiron District, originally a manufacturing area known as the Toy District, was also known later as Silicon Alley, a nickname for New York’s technology industry/sector. Late in the year 2000, a large influx of office tenants included industries such as publishers, ad agencies, and a host of computer and web-related start-up companies, created the “Silicon Valley” moniker. Tree-lined streets and graceful Beaux-art buildings designed at the turn of the century offers a fascinating charming neighborhood, offering everyone a dynamic and totally unique flair of residential, retail, and retail shopping options. Fine dining in the area includes Eataly, Craft, Boucherie Union Square, ABC Kitchen, Almond & Thai Villa and more.
