Building Description

The historic property at 255-269 W 43 Street was developed in 1922 by real estate magnate Henry Claman. Originally known as the Claman Hotel, the Renaissance Revival tower was designed by Herman Gronenberg and Albert J. H. Leuchtag, as a single men's residence. When the Manger brothers acquired the property in 1922 one floor was reserved for women and the building's name changed to the Times Square Hotel. In 1991 the grand hotel, neglected and in disrepair, was acquired by Breaking Ground as a pioneering permanent residence for low-income and formerly homeless adults with mental illnesses or living with HIV/AIDS. The Times Square, with 652 apartments, is now the flagship supportive housing residence for Breaking Ground's 18 properties.

Residents at 255-269 W 43 Street enjoy 24-hour security and an on-site medical clinic. Shared spaces include a laundry room, computer lab, library, landscaped roof deck, and art studio with rehearsal space. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is convenient to all Midtown mass transportation options. The 8th Avenue and 44th Street station is steps away and serves the A, C, E, N, Q, R, S, 1, 2, 3 and 7 trains.

Eliza Theiss, Apr 23, 2026 $4.6M Hudson Yards Maintains Top Spot, Luxury Sales in Malba Set $2.5M Price Record for Queens
Despite prices declining, Hudson Yards remained the most expensive NYC neighborhood, but TriBeCa’s growth closed the gap to under $400,000, while Malba set a new historic price record for Queens at $2.5 million, securing the highest ranking ever for the borough at #5.
Eliza Theiss, Mar 19, 2026 Cheaper in the City? Nearly 100 Communities in Suburban NYC Surpass $1M
New Yorkers planning a move to the suburbs increasingly find their options limited, after suburban home values shot up twice as fast as NYC medians over the last decade. While larger homes and better prices were long the norm outside the five boroughs, today, many NYC buyers find their option restricted to a handful of suburban markets.
