Back in 1908, Architect, Charles E. Birge designed 718 Broadway. His vision was to create a functional 11 floor prewar cast iron building to be utilized by commercial businesses, including clothing manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers. Also, during his practice in NYC, he designed many of the Schraffts Candy Stores. Today some 114 years later; he would indeed be pleased knowing that his building remains and has now been transformed into a fine residential boutique Co-op.

At the turn of the 19th century, lower Broadway had become the center of the millinery and apparel district. In 1901, Indig, Berg & Co., cloak makers, were located here. Right next door at 714 / 716 Broadway was Samuel Lazarus, "maker of handmade fancy hats'; David Henly's Sons were manufacturing artificial flowers and feathers for hats, and the Excelsior Shirt Company of New York maintained a facility. The Noho neighborhood started changing again in the mid to latter part of the 20th century with the overflow of artists from nearby Soho searching for Studio and living spaces. Many trendy shops appeared along lower Broadway & Houston Street. Now in 2022, the area is home to residential, commercial buildings and abundance of retail shops and restaurants.
