Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The iconic Flatiron Building at 175 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is a commercial office building, not a residential one. Completed in 1902, its distinctive triangular shape made it an early skyscraper landmark. Today, it houses publishing companies, tech firms, and other businesses.
While the surrounding Flatiron District has many apartments and condos, the Flatiron Building itself does not offer residential units. Its upper floors have small, oddly shaped offices due to the narrow apex—a quirk that adds to its charm but makes living there impractical.
