Trophy tower 11 Madison Ave. is set to become one of biggest real estate prizes ever in the city’s history.

SL Green Realty Corp. has agreed to pay $2.6 billion for the 2.3 million square-foot Art Deco skyscraper overlooking Madison Square Park being sold by the Sapir Organization and minority partner CIM Group, The Post has learned.

That would be the biggest single-building deal in the city and the second-highest price ever paid for an office tower after the $2.8 billion sale of the GM Building in 2008. The latter was part of a $3.95 billion package that included three other towers.

The real estate investment trust, led by Chief Executive Marc Holliday and President Andrew Mathias, was set to sign a contract either Sunday night or Monday, sources said. SL Green is the city’s biggest landlord with 43.6 million square feet spanning 117 buildings.
