Related Companies to build 1,200-foot skyscraper on Madison Avenue

Related Companies plans to build a supertall skyscraper on Madison Avenue rising to 1,200 feet, Related CEO Jeff Blau revealed to Realty Check.

The cloudbuster comprising luxury condos, stores and perhaps a hotel will rise at 625 Madison Ave., a property that includes next-door 39 E. 58th St., former home of restaurant Lavo.

Although Related’s desire for a new building was previously reported, its enormous scale was not known until now.

Related’s Madison Avenue skyscraper comes into focus
Tower at 625 Madison Avenue slated to reach 1.2K feet

JUL 15, 2024

Quote:

The developer’s plans at 625 Madison Avenue, which it picked up in December from SL Green for more than $600 million, will rise 1,200 feet, the New York Post reported.

The Real Deal previously reported the Manhattan high-rise will include retail, a hotel and condos, with luxury hotel and retail brands already in talks for the coming project.

Relate CEO Jeff Blau told the Post the property does not require zoning changes, but is facing “nine months of demolition ahead.”

Doesn't include the 500ft crown obviously.

1,200 feet near Central Park, nice

I wonder if the height is approximate / it could end up higher. May as well take advantage of such a location.

Crawford · #87 Posted **Jul 15, 2024, 8:10 PM**

Great news.

I actually thought this would be somewhat taller. Hoping there's a crown to bring it a little higher, more around 1,400 ft., like 432 Park and 111 W.57 heights.

But even at 1,200 ft., this will be a major skyline presence. And given the ultra-prime location, likely a major architectural statement.

I'm also wondering if 650 Madison is next. That's another outdated tower, in the same neighborhood, where a developer has been emptying the office space of tenants, and where you could build a residential or residential-hotel supertall as-of-right.

ChiND · #88 Posted **Jul 15, 2024, 8:38 PM**

It will be the same height as the St. Regis in Chicago.

650 will rise in time. I can't imagine anything but a 1000+ show stopper.

NYC will have 100 supertalls in my lifetime.

The march continues apace.

Don't know what firm is working on the design, but whatever rises here, together with 41 W. 57, will make the Billionaire's Row ensemble more interesting.

Of course, there will be great views.

The scaffolding is going up quickly. Related isn’t wasting any time with respect to NY’s newest, supertall icon!

NYguy · #93 Posted **Aug 1, 2024, 1:39 PM**

Yeah, they said about 9 months of demolition when they begin.

ChiND · #94 Posted **Aug 8, 2024, 5:09 PM**

The whole building is basically covered in scaffolding. I hope that a rendering is disclosed soon.

mrnyc · #95 Posted **Aug 8, 2024, 6:10 PM**

^ awesome news. i’l try to dip by, but let us know when they start knocking it down.

NYguy · #96 Posted **Aug 9, 2024, 3:31 AM**

Demolition permit was approved a couple of days ago, so when they're good to go, they're good to go.

AUGUST 11, 2024

This new tower will sit across from (or behind) the GM building and its popular plaza, about 500 ft taller...

Zapatan · #98 Posted **Aug 12, 2024, 8:38 PM**

Is this a go it seems? Related don't let us down, I look forward to seeing the design.

Crazy if this and 175 could rise together as we wait for 350 Park and 2WTC.

Yeah, this is most certainly a go. That's why Related is moving so quickly, they intend to build. There are a lot of things in the pipeline for the city, concerning tall towers. But there's a good chance Related alone could have 4 major supertalls under construction in Manhattan at once, depending on getting the casino license. Let us think about that. Here, they have at least 9 months of demo once they start. So at the earliest we're talking maybe the summer, end of next year or early 2026 before this begins to rise. Casino license would be granted next year, and the following year would commence construction on those towers. So the timeline fits.

Any supertalls being built within that timeframe? 270 is going to finish very soon and 520 5th is flying. I'm not tracking any projects actually going above ground rn, but I haven't been paying that much attention lately either.

Could this be the first time in a very long time that NYC isn't building a supertall?
