NEW YORK | 126 Madison Avenue | 805 FT | 66 FLOORS

[Visionist]

Some of the floor to floor heights are higher than others, at intervals all the way up. Possible full-floor units?

Judging by the balconies at the top, the penthouse looks like a duplex or triplex.

Completion is fast approaching at Madison House at 15 East 30th Street, a NoMad condo situated between Madison and Fifth avenues. At 805 feet tall, Madison House ranks as the tallest condo in the neighborhood and the 16th-tallest residential building in all of New York City. To spice up the currently available listings, the building team released new renderings that showcase the glass-walled interiors and the sumptuous views beyond. Listing ranges span from $1.48 million for one-bedroom apartments to $13.73M for a four-bedroom penthouse on the 57th floor.

Handel Architects treated the skyscraper with vertical bands of terra cotta that soar uninterrupted from the building base to the slanted, double-peaked crown, and echo the Art Deco limestone at nearby Empire State Building, which looms in direct view from more than half of the building’s apartments. In fact, height and views is somewhat of a driving theme behind the building, which strives to elevate its residents as high as possible.

Handel Architects treated the skyscraper with vertical bands of terra cotta that soar uninterrupted from the building base to the slanted, double-peaked crown, and echo the Art Deco limestone at nearby Empire State Building, which looms in direct view from more than half of the building’s apartments. In fact, height and views is somewhat of a driving theme behind the building, which strives to elevate its residents as high as possible.

Even the lowest units are elevated 150 feet, or about 15 standard stories, above the ground, high enough to allow for dramatic skyline views. Ceilings soar 11 feet or above, higher than even most pre-war apartments. Sheer, floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around most of the exterior. The building’s notched form creates ten, rather than the standard four, corners per floor, meaning that every residence offers one or more corner rooms. Moreover, many of these corner spaces are column-free, maximizing the views that open beyond.

The views are worthy of a separate mention. To the north, beyond the Empire State Building, the man-made mountains of Midtown rise in all their glory, with the peaks of the Chrysler Building and One Vanderbilt soaring ahead. To the east, Kips Bay, the East River and Brooklyn and Queens all rise low enough to allow for dramatic sunrise views from most units. Pointed pre-war pinnacles around Madison Square perch to the south, with Lower Manhattan looming beyond. The towers of NoMad, Chelsea, and Hudson Yards rise to the west.

The theme of loftiness extends beyond the apartments. Double-height, glass-walled spaces feature throughout Madison House’s 30,000-square-foot amenity suite, including in the club room and the fitness center with a separate yoga room. The spa sports a 75-foot lap pool, hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge, as well as a lounge. A 2,800-square-foot roof garden sits on the second floor. A private dining room comes with a demonstration and catering kitchen. The building also offers a conference room, reading room, card room, a golf simulator, billiards, and a children’s playroom.

Madison House snatched the title of the neighborhood’s tallest apartment building from the crystalline, 778-foot-tall Madison Square Park Tower at 45 East 22nd Street, where a dramatic, glass-walled triplex penthouse recently set this year’s contract record at $52 million. Other recently-completed and in-progress luxury condos include Rafael Viñoly’s 55-floor condo tower down the block at 277 Fifth Avenue, Cetra/Ruddy’s 46-story, Art Deco-themed Rose Hill at 30 East 29th Street, Morris Adjmi’s 42-story Gothic-Modern sliver 30E31 at 30 East 31st Street, and a 21-story, angled-balcony tower under construction at 9 East 30th Street. The 55-story Sky House at 11 East 29th Street rises across from Madison House, and 46-story Instrata NoMad at 10 East 29th Street stands further south.

Madison House Nears Completion At 126 Madison Avenue In NoMad

Exterior work is still wrapping up on Madison House, NoMad’s tallest residential skyscraper at 126 Madison Avenue. Alternately addressed as 15 East 30th Street, the 805-foot-tall, 62-story tower is designed by Handel Architects and developed by Fosun Group and JD Carlisle. Douglas Elliman is handling sales and marketing of its 199 condominiums. The project also includes 7,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

Photographs show the envelope substantially finished. The curtain wall is composed of floor-to-ceiling glass and white metal panels arranged in uninterrupted vertical lines on all four sides of the slender superstructure, accentuating its height. The structure culminates in a multi-layered sloped crown.

Awaiting construction is the low-rise retail podium that is planned for the corner of East 30th Street and Madison Avenue. This structure will have a wall of glass and metal paneling bearing the building name and address against the sidewalk. A swooping canopy immediately to the west will protrude out from the base of the main tower itself. This can be seen in the rendering below. It’s likely that the design for this lower part of Madison House hasn’t changed. Right now, the site of the retail base has been used as a staging area and the entrance to access the exterior hoists, which are still attached to the slim northern profile of the skyscraper.

Homes begin 150 feet above street level and feature 11-foot-high ceilings with one- to four-bedroom layouts. Prices range from nearly $1.5 million to around $13.7 million. The 30,0000 square feet of amenities include a 75-foot-long multi-lane indoor swimming pool and a spa with a sauna, cold bath, hot tub, and lounge area. There will also be a fitness center 120 feet above NoMad, a billiards room, a children’s room, a golf simulator, a Gachot-designed club area with double-height ceilings and fireplaces, and 24-hour concierge service within a garden-framed lobby along West 29th Street.

A formal completion date of Madison House has yet to be announced, though at this point an opening date sometime in early 2021 is likely.
