<p>The Flatiron District is named after the Flatiron Building, an iconic triangular building that is one of the oldest original skyscrapers <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/office-space">in New York City</a>. The building was considered groundbreaking at the time of its construction in 1902, and it now symbolizes both the historical importance and innovative spirit that defines the area. Besides the Flatiron Building, other notable buildings in the district include the Met Life Tower at 1 Madison Avenue, the New York Life Building, and One Madison Park.</p>
<p>The Flatiron District is widely recognized as the center of Silicon Alley, New York’s technology hub. The district tends to attract <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/three-office-space-locations-fit-early-stage-startups/">startups</a>, publishers, fashion designers, nonprofits, consulting firms, and advertising agencies. Yelp, Tiffany &amp; Co., Betterment, Buzzfeed, Spotify, and Yext all have office space in the Flatiron District.</p>

<h2>What Our Brokers Say About Flatiron District</h2>
<p>Due to zoning laws, many of the tallest buildings are still no higher than 20 stories. Older buildings along the side streets are often only three to six stories tall. These smaller buildings mean that tenants seeking square footage of 5,000 or fewer can have the opportunity to occupy an entire floor. That level of privacy is rare for small companies based in other parts of the city. With more modest <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/open-office-floor-plans/">floor plans</a> with high ceilings, many spaces are ideal for open office concepts as well.</p>
<p>Since the formation of the <a href="http://www.flatirondistrict.nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District</a> (BID) in 2006, over 2.2 million in funds are invested annually in the neighborhood’s sanitation, public safety, marketing, social services, and public improvements. Due to the BID’s dedication to a clean and safe area, Flatiron is increasingly attractive for families and young professionals looking for a strong sense of community. There are currently 247 new residential units, including luxury rental condominiums, planned or under construction.</p>
<p>In response to the high number of young workers, the fitness and wellness sector has rapidly taken hold of Flatiron, with 47 <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/guide-flatiron-fitness/">fitness gyms and studios available</a> within walking distance and companies like Athleta, Equinox, and Sweaty Betty renting <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/ny/new-york/office-space">office space</a>.</p>
<p>Those looking for calmer exercise options can explore Madison Square Park. Fully restored in 2001, the park is just north of the building the neighborhood is named for. More than 50,000 people visit daily, and it’s the perfect spot for both locals and tourists to eat lunch, enjoy a cup of coffee, or people watch.</p>
<p>As much as fitness is a part of the Flatiron culture, so is food. Host business meetings at Eleven Madison Park, Craft, Gramercy Tavern, and Cosme, or take a more casual outing to Shake Shack, Tappo Thin Crust, Live Bait, and Eisenberg Sandwich Shop. Flatiron is also home to Eataly, a 58,000 square foot Italian marketplace with seven unique restaurants that opened in 2010. During the summer, workers can choose from dozens of food trucks at Madison Square Eats.

<h2>Flatiron District history</h2>
<p>After evolving from the commercial “Toy District” to a more residential neighborhood, Flatiron was briefly referred to as the “Photo District” from the 1960s-1980s. Expansive lofts with plenty of <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/health-effects-natural-lighting-office/">natural light</a> and relatively cheap rent were ideal for photographers. The appeal of these unique loft-style buildings brought an influx of tech and media companies, once again changing the character of the neighborhood.</p>
<p>In 1966, the Flatiron Building became a New York City landmark, and in 1979, it joined the National Registry of Historic Places. In the mid-1980s, the district was named after the building. Today, the Flatiron Building is an office building that contains the headquarters for publishing companies Picador and St. Martin’s Press and that serves as a popular tourist destination.</p>
<p>In 1847, Madison Square Park officially opened. Soon after, Amos Eno built the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Others told him he had chosen a bad location because it was far away from the area’s hotel district. However, he proceeded with his plan. One of the unique features of the hotel was its incorporation of elevators, which were a relatively new concept at the time. At one point the Prince of Wales even stayed at the hotel.</p>
<p>Around the 1990s, the Flatiron District gained a reputation for its impressive commercial real estate.</p>

<h2>Flatiron District history</h2>
<p>After evolving from the commercial “Toy District” to a more residential neighborhood, Flatiron was briefly referred to as the “Photo District” from the 1960s-1980s. Expansive lofts with plenty of <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/blog/health-effects-natural-lighting-office/">natural light</a> and relatively cheap rent were ideal for photographers. The appeal of these unique loft-style buildings brought an influx of tech and media companies, once again changing the character of the neighborhood.</p>
<p>In 1966, the Flatiron Building became a New York City landmark, and in 1979, it joined the National Registry of Historic Places. In the mid-1980s, the district was named after the building. Today, the Flatiron Building is an office building that contains the headquarters for publishing companies Picador and St. Martin’s Press and that serves as a popular tourist destination.</p>
<p>In 1847, Madison Square Park officially opened. Soon after, Amos Eno built the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Others told him he had chosen a bad location because it was far away from the area’s hotel district. However, he proceeded with his plan. One of the unique features of the hotel was its incorporation of elevators, which were a relatively new concept at the time. At one point the Prince of Wales even stayed at the hotel.</p>
<p>Around the 1990s, the Flatiron District gained a reputation for its impressive commercial real estate.</p>
