A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Marquand would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Marquand is one of the Upper East Side's most pedigreed pre-war addresses, reborn as a boutique condominium. Completed in 1913 to designs by Herbert Lucas, it rose on the northwest corner of Madison Avenue and 68th Street on the site of the celebrated Henry G. Marquand mansion — a Richard Morris Hunt house built for the second president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the finest residences in the city in its day. The apartment house that replaced it kept the Marquand name, carried in escutcheons on its limestone-and-buff-brick façade, and the building remains a landmark presence on one of the most valuable corners in Manhattan.
For nearly a century the Marquand operated as a rental. Its 2013 condominium conversion brought a fully reimagined, gut-renovated building to market — pre-war bones and a Madison Avenue address paired with new mechanical systems, restored architecture, and contemporary luxury finishes — at the heart of Lenox Hill's Madison Avenue gallery, boutique, and museum corridor, two blocks from Central Park and steps from the city's premier shopping.
Architecture and unit composition
Herbert Lucas's 1913 design is classic pre-war Upper East Side: a limestone base, buff-colored brick body, and terra-cotta trim, articulated with the period detailing — and the Marquand "M" escutcheons — that mark it on the corner. The eleven-story building was reconfigured in the 2013 conversion into approximately 29 condominium residences, a low-density count that yields large, gracious layouts with the high ceilings, generous proportions, and formal room sequencing of the pre-war idiom, updated with new systems and finishes throughout.
The result is full-floor and near-full-floor scale in several units, with the light and exposures of a corner building over Madison Avenue and 68th Street.
Building operations
The Marquand operates as a full-service boutique condominium with a full-time doorman, attended lobby, concierge, fitness center, and private storage. Pets are permitted under the building rules. With roughly 29 residences carrying full staffing, common charges reflect the service level and the building's restored pre-war systems.
Buyers should review the offering plan, current financials, board minutes, and reserve study during due diligence — standard practice for a pre-war conversion, where the scope and quality of the gut renovation and the adequacy of capital reserves warrant particular attention.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
The Marquand trades as a condominium, so pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, and it prices at the top of the Lenox Hill boutique-conversion tier — a Madison Avenue corner, pre-war architecture, full-floor scale, and a famous name combine to push pricing well into trophy territory, with full-floor and penthouse residences reaching eight figures. With only about 29 units, sales are infrequent and highly apartment-specific: floor, exposure, layout, and finish drive the variation. We underwrite each unit against the building's own trades and the broader Madison-and-Fifth pre-war condominium set.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,877/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 5.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a pre-war conversion at a trophy corner. The 1913 Lucas architecture and the Henry Marquand pedigree are the headline; the 2013 gut renovation is what makes them livable for a modern buyer.
Scale and exposure drive value. Full-floor and corner residences command the premium; confirm exactly what each unit's layout, floor, and light look like.
Full service at boutique scale. Doorman, concierge, gym, and storage in a roughly 29-unit building on Madison Avenue.
Underwrite the conversion properly. Review the offering plan, financials, and reserves with attention to the renovation scope and capital plan, as with any pre-war conversion.
Condominium rules govern. There is no co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm financing, leasing and ownership-entity rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the address, the architecture, and the name. The Madison-and-68th corner, the Lucas pre-war façade, and the Marquand history are the marketing assets — foreground all three.
Price to the building's own comps and the corridor. With ~29 units, the persuasive evidence is the Marquand's own trades adjusted for floor and exposure, supplemented by the Madison and Fifth pre-war condominium set.
Reach the global trophy buyer pool. Demand for pre-war architecture at this corner is international; marketing should reach cross-border buyers as well as the local Lenox Hill audience.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
