In the 200m range, but no final height yet, as far as I know.

One Madison Park's apartments range from $2 million to $10.6 million, with the triplex penthouse priced at $35 million.

Yet another amazing tower.

Wow how odd, I never seen a skyscraper built between such tightly packed terrace type buildings. I like the design

I thought the height for this building was like 180m on emporis... it would be awesome though it its in the 200m range. are you sure about that or can anyone confirm this?

This is an example of a tower that is different, yet still fits in well with the NYC skyline. It is interesting, but not too funky and has elegance. If you ask me it is a good balance as opposed to 80 South Street which doesn't fit in with the skyline well.

That's a nice thin skyscraper, more pictures?

Agree, 100% with that statement.!!!!

new york, new york..always amazing buildings

is this near central park? that is one good lookin tower.

it's amazing that they are constructing a huge 60 story building and i've never even heard of it.
Beautiful!

is this near central park? that is one good lookin tower.

it is quite far away from the Central park as far as i know, though it is still in midtown :).

This looks very similar to the Park Michigan Tower in Chicago, the shape in general with the height. Are they twinned?

Nice slender tower. Amazing that this project is already so far underway before it is picked up on this forum. :)

Everything fit in NY...

this is one hell of a building....love it! it has that look of distinct elegance that only new york has (...and maybe chicago).

2 million for an apartment!! That's crazy! How can people afford that!?

for a really rich people 2 million are nothing ^^

^^ I would never pay 2M for an appartment in the lower floors here.

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/2334/1753260572f424a488a4ojb7.jpg

:lol:, ok....for the lower floors i also would never pay 2mio

My God, it's so thin and it looks fantastic! I asume there will be only few appartments per floor if not just one?

i'm sure, for 2mio $ you'll get 1 floor in the tower

If you ask me, i'd say the first 3 or 4 floors look like the mechanical floors, actual residential units start on the floor that the crane's tower support arm is on. (I'll call it the 6th floor)

i'm sure, for 2mio $ you'll get 1 floor in the tower

Definitely not. These apartments probably sell for at least $2,000 per square foot. Therefore, $2m buys a 1,000 s.f. apartment which is either a very small two bedroom or a large (by NY standards) one bedroom.

A big monolith with some boxes!It has a nice classy design.

There are no more than two apartments on a floor. Other than the $35M triplex on top, floors come in one of four flavors:

1. Split down the middle: 2 2 bedroom apartments. One (east facing) slightly larger than the other.

2. Three and one: A three bedroom and a less than 1000 sf One Bedroom.

3. Full floor (with no outdoor space).

4. Full floor (with terraces).

Everything has been sold except for the triplex and some one bedrooms.

Average prices are hovering around 2,500/sf. A few units are being re-offered (someone who signed the contract is being allowed to assign the property to a new buyer).

The building will have a restaurant on the first floor. It will also have private areas on the next couple of floors -- including a gym, a club, and a lap pool.

I really like this design. :cheers: But I think it looks very similar to another apartament tower - BBB Tower in Gdansk(Poland) - http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=488640
isn't it? :?

WoW, the building is nice...

Huh, i wouldn't say so.. iono


Imagine the unobstructed views from the top floors, especially if u own the whole floor. 1Mad i mean :drool::drool:

That's crazy, it's very thin. I love the design though, this should be cool to see rise.

wow i love it it only happens in new york

This will go up very fast. That seemingly perpetual low-rise gap between downtown and midtown is seeing some major changes.

Great shot and good progress. :)

indeed good progress and nice new yorkish kind of photo! :)

Question though: it looks like the facade will be one colour instead of the two tones of colour it had on the render? Although the side looks just a little bit more purple/darker like then the front of the facade?

Cool update! I love that place!

Seems like people from Rotterdam love this project, I'm 3th in a row... :)

the front facade still has paper over the windows so i dont think anyone can tell at this point

thx for the update, progressing very well :)

wow this thing will be pretty tall. Its at around 28 floors so it still has 32 more to go!

^ wow! taller than i thought! looks pretty good right now!

can't remember a similar project in that area ( only a taller tower with 70+ floors, but not similar in design )...but who knows, maybe it will come :)

yea lets not push it....

So far I'm quite dissapointed with the way this building is turing out. It looks kinda outdated to me especially with the way the windows open up. The flap out style is common in many buildings from the 70's.

http://curbed.com/uploads/2008_5_onemadisondance.jpg



:applause:

Amazing, it seems that they are building without any supplies, where are the construction materials being stored?

http://curbed.com/uploads/2008_5_onemadisondance.jpg





This erection is understandably HUGE...

im always surprised how much faster skinny skyscrapers go up, how much more is left to go up?

when does it top out?

looks almost topped out already, so probably it's only a matter of weeks, maybe less

I'm guessing Madison Park looking at the address lol...right next to the Met Life Building.

Is this the same building that is on my photo from travel to NY last summer? I can't recognise. Photo was taken somewhere in that area.

interesting Building, as always NY has the best buildings in the world.

nope that's another tower ( 785 avenue )

Both towers are too slim (785 Avenue & One Madison Park)

can't never be too slim. a tower can only be too fat.

the tower will be 188m, can a mod please add it to the title?

^^ and what about the number of floors? 60??
On the renders and recent pics there seem to be only around 52 (Emporis has 51). Some more floors would be breathtaking, but I guess that the tower could have topped out already.:cheers:

51 according to ssp

Simple but elegant design. I love it

New condo tower nears completion in NYC
One Madison Park is a new ground-up 50-storey luxury condominium building currently under construction in the Flatiron district of New York City. Designed by New York architect Cetra/Ruddy, the building, which is one the skinniest skyscrapers in the city, is clad with a glass and aluminum curtain wall with several types of glass accentuating the building forms.

The slender building is composed of dark bronze glass coupled with clear glass that is used on the 4 to 6 storey “pods” that cantilever to the north and east of the main building shaft, providing residents with 270 degree views of the city beyond. The building will house 70 homes ranging from 930 to 3,310 square feet including loggia residences located at the top of each pod that are full floor units with outdoor terraces. All residences are generously appointed in wood and stone materials with floor to ceiling glass. In addition to the residences, the building will include a spa and swimming pool with an outdoor park view terrace and a wine cellar.

Immediately adjacent to Cetra/Ruddy’s tower a new 22-storey tower is planned. The design for that building, by Dutch architect OMA, is to be unveiled on September 11th.

Some supermodels are just too thin. And some can actually wear their slenderness well.

Same with buildings. This one would look odd if it were any larger, but as it is looks just right.

pretty nice

The view is stunning! Such a thin skyscraper. It's gorgeous :)

I want this building's penthouse, a triplex on the 58th, 59th, and 60th floors.

The 3 floors add up to over 7,500 sq. ft. There's a terrace on the first penthouse level, 360 degree views, etc...

Anybody have $45 million they can give me?:lol:

Wonderful! And it's so slim :happy:

It is very slim but elegant and impressive. A great building for a great city !

Actually it looks completely crazy to me - the footprint as i looked at it today again - is so very small that it seems some little brownstone was torn down to have place for this building. Simply amazing.

Did anyone ever buy the penthouse?

I remember they wanted $45 million for it. It's the top 3 floors, 7,500 sq. ft.

its classical neighbors and slim proportions make it a very interesting composition. In the heart of midtown it would be overlooked but where it's at- stands out.

In your second picture dnob One Madison Park looks like a beautiful ghost with a few construction lights on.

Why don't they finish the top ?

So thin!! But at the same time elegant! beautiful building :D

amazing tower love it!

I don't like the top portion of this otherwise wonderful tower. The absence of a glass square on the top portion makes the squares look cramped and uncomfortable. They should space them evenly all the way toward the top.

I got truly impressed, that's how present skyscrapers should look like! :D

Amazing! This tower is so beautiful!

It must be uncomfortable living in a building like that. In a building that tall and that thin there is probably going to be some movement in the higher floors.

But in a thin tower you get more windows per home, which is a really nice feature many would appreciate I suppose.

NEWS:
There's a minimum one lawsuit requirement in all New York developments...

http://www.cityrealty.com/new-york-city-real-estate/carters-view/suits-reported-filed-against-developers-one-madison-park/carter-b-horsley/29782
Suits reported filed against developers of One Madison Park

http://www.cityrealty.com/graphics/uploads/1263336684_madpk1.jpg

Wendy Maitland, a broker with Brown Harris Stevens, has filed one of several suits against the developers of One Madison Park over loans and deposits.

Ms. Maitland, a senior vice president at Brown Harris Stevens, and the building's original listing broker, filed suite December 22 in New York State Supreme Court claiming that she lent Ira Shapiro and Marc Jacobs, the developers of the residential condominium tower, $300,000 last August, according to an article by David Jones today at therealdeal.com

The article said that the suit maintains that the developers asked to borrow the funds "to help pay for unpaid mechanics liens on the property" and that Mr. Shapiro had told Ms. Maitland "he would receive money from another source, so Maitland agreed to lend the funds if they money was repaid within 24 hours."

...One Madison Park is a dramatic and very slender residential skyscraper on the south side of Madison Square Park that was developer by Slazer Enterprises of New City, New York, and designed by Cetra/Ruddy.

The 47-story tower contains 90 residential condominiums and its form is somewhat similar to the proposed skyscraper at 80 South Street that was designed by Santiago Calatrava for Frank Sciame. That tower featured 10 four-story townhouses that were vertically stacked and separated by roof terraces.

The project's celebrity ratcheted up many more notches, furthermore, when the developer unveiled its plans for the 22nd Street portion of the through-block project.

For that, the developer commissioned the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), which is headed by Rem Koolhaas, the author of "Delirious New York," one of the most famous books ever written about the city that was notable for its illustrations.

OMA's 22nd Street design was startling and although much shorter than the residential tower facing Madison Square Park, it promised to be even more of a "double-take" structure for not only was it a "peek-a-boo" building that at first glance appeared to loom from behind the tower to take a look at the park but it also was cantilevered substantially to the east in what appeared to be a very remarkable feat of engineering.

OMA's proposed 24-story "back" building also was extremely notable for the "bottom" windows that it offered in the cantilevered floors.

The Department of Buildings, however, approved an amendment submitted by John Cetra of Cetra/Ruddy, Inc., to the building plan for 23 East 22nd Street June 18, 2009 that appeared to substantially lowered the height of the 24-story building.

In the Shadow of the Boom

http://www.observer.com/files/full/JBR_Building_02.JPG

By Dana Rubinstein
March 9, 2010

Once upon a time, two young men named Ira Shapiro and Marc Jacobs left Rockland County for the isle of Manhattan to build a tower all the way to the sky. Day by day, week by week, their tower at One Madison Park rose. New York’s glitterati took notice. Parties were held. Photographs flashed. Messrs. Shapiro and Jacobs knew how their story would end: They’d walk away richer than before. More important than before. They’d be New York powerful.

They almost succeeded. Together, they built one of the tallest, most architecturally ambitious Manhattan skyscrapers of the decade. But in the end, their fairy tale was more Brothers Grimm than Walt Disney, ending with a fractured relationship between the onetime friends, a pile of lawsuits and, now, a looming foreclosure.

In February, iStar, the bank that now holds the more than $200 million debt on the 60-story condo tower at 23rd Street and Madison Avenue, sued for foreclosure. The men’s firm, Slazer Enterprises, is the defendant in more than a dozen lawsuits. And Mr. Jacobs and his wife, Rochelle, are now accusing Mr. Shapiro of fraudulently misusing his and his wife’s signatures.

....Now, the fate of the building’s buyers and investors rests with the courts. About a dozen of the building’s 90 condos are occupied. And insiders estimate that the more than $70 million in escrow from contracted buyers should cover the completion of both One Madison Park and the tower behind it, which has yet to begin construction.

The fates of the dozens of buyers in contract with the building remain unresolved. The state attorney general’s office could grant buyers a right of rescission, which would allow them to demand their deposits back. But given the prestige of the building, its powerful allure and its ideal location, buyers might well choose to stick out the turmoil.

....At least it’s not ugly. Indeed, on a recent springlike evening, the skyscraper could be seen rising spectrally through the branches of the London plane trees that live on the north side of Madison Square Park. The reflection of the backlit 700-foot Clock Tower on Madison Avenue—another distressed condo conversion—shimmered on One Madison Park’s reflective facade.

The tower was, in its overpowering, hubristic way, kind of pretty.

^^ Oh well atleast the building is done :)

Hello guys

These all tower are ridiculously slim, but I like it a lot.
NY has some stunning skyscrapers.

Its awesome really.

This reminds me alot of 300 Front Street West which is a project of similar height to go up in Toronto.

I love how slim it is, and the boxed sections that stick out of it-- the colour choices are also nice.

:cheers:

From close, you can really see how empty it still is. I hope it will get a better occupancy soon. :(

You would have to read the posts, not just look at the pretty pictures to understand why this building is empty.
