1122 Madison Avenue is a ground-up luxury condominium at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 84th Street — a genuinely rare thing on a stretch of the Upper East Side built almost entirely from pre-war cooperatives. Developed by Legion Investment Group and Nahla Capital with design by Studio Sofield and Hill West Architects as architect of record, it is a small, top-of-market condominium conceived to compete at the very peak of the East Side, and it has already done so: the duplex penthouse went into contract at $89.5 million in May 2026, a record price and price per square foot for an Upper East Side condominium.
The architecture is the argument. Instead of the glass curtain wall of most new towers, 1122 Madison is clad in Indiana limestone on all four sides — itself unusual, since side and rear elevations in New York are typically left plainer — and detailed with sculpted reliefs, rope-trimmed window surrounds, and custom metalwork. The result is a 283-foot, 22-story building engineered to read as a peer to the masonry landmarks of Madison and Fifth, while delivering the ceiling heights, layouts, systems, and amenities that only new construction provides.
For buyers, the appeal is specific and scarce: a brand-new condominium — with the financing latitude, ownership flexibility, and resale liquidity a condominium offers — dropped into a corridor where nearly everything else is a pre-war co-op with a board. At just 26 residences across 22 stories, the building is deliberately intimate, with full-floor and near-full-floor homes of three to six bedrooms.

What to know if you’re selling
The condominium structure and Studio Sofield design are the marketing core. New-construction scarcity on Madison Avenue, four-sided Indiana limestone, and a marquee design office are durable differentiators that distinguish a resale here from anything in the surrounding pre-war co-op stock.
Benchmark to top-of-market new condominiums, not the pre-war neighbors. The building opened with the highest per-square-foot pricing recorded for an Upper East Side condominium; comparable analysis for a resale belongs against the newest luxury condominium inventory on the East Side and the broader Park-and-Fifth trophy tier.
Closing mechanics are condominium-standard. A resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board process, with condominium closing timelines — a faster, more predictable path that is itself a selling point to the financing- and flexibility-minded buyer this building attracts.
Early resales trade on scarcity. With only 26 residences and the first owners just taking title, available inventory will be thin; a well-positioned resale benefits from the building's record-setting debut and the limited supply of comparable new product on Madison.
