One Madison Park
617 ft/188 m
51 floors
Construction: 2006 through 2008
Cetra Ruddy Architects and Slazer Enterprises
This was designed by Cetra Ruddy and Slazer Enterprises. Its official address is 20 East 23rd Street. They later named it The Saya and then renamed it a more upscale 1 Madison Park. It sits directly at the mouth of Madison Ave visually terminating the street. It is caddy corner to Madison Square Park and caddy corner to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Clock Tower, once the world's tallest building.
1 Madison Park will have 90 units including 18 full floor units and 1 triplex. The tower is as of 8/25/08 virtually sold out and such a success that an accompanying tower is planned for an adjacent lot at 23 west 22nd street that is being designed by Rem Koolhaas.
This is the 2nd tallest building south of the Empire State Building but north of downtown. Only the clocktower is taller.
