Madison House

The decagonal plan is the architectural argument and the lifestyle one at once: by angling the building's faces, the design gives nearly every home a corner room and long sightlines, and the relatively few interior columns give the layouts flexibility; check column placement on the specific apartment plan. The reinforced-concrete structure carries the height cleanly, and the slender profile reads as a genuine addition to the Midtown skyline rather than a bulky infill tower.

The 199 residences run from one- to four-bedroom layouts, all with 11-foot ceilings and the floor-to-ceiling glazing the plan was built to exploit. Gachot Studios' interiors favor a calm, material-led palette — the kind of finish program that reads as quiet luxury rather than developer flash. Pricing at launch ran from roughly the high $1 millions for the smaller homes into the mid-eight figures for the largest upper-floor residences, a wide band that reflects the range of layouts and the dramatic value of elevation in a tower this tall.

The amenity package comprises roughly 30,000 square feet anchored by a 75-foot multi-lane pool, a full spa with sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub, an elevated fitness center, a children's playroom, a billiards room, a golf simulator, and a private dining room and club lounge with a wet bar and fireplaces, alongside the practical infrastructure — bike room, cold storage, package room, and concierge. The building runs a full-service operation behind a double-height attended lobby.

Madison House uses condominium transfer procedures rather than discretionary co-op admission. The filed 2019 offering plan requires a purchase or lease application, executed transaction documents and notice for its right-of-first-refusal process; it specifies a one-year minimum lease and exceptions for certain transfers. Confirm the current application, any financial-document requests, permitted ownership structures, financing conditions and leasing terms with management and counsel against the amended declaration and by-laws. One carrying-cost check every buyer should make: verify the unit's current tax bill and any exemption or abatement in NYC Department of Finance records, and if a benefit applies, confirm its eligibility, phase-out schedule and expiration before modeling future carrying costs.

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $2,591/sf (floor-adjusted) across 10 sales. 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 1.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00860-7505; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

The decagonal plan and the ceiling height are the product — inspect the specific layout, floor and exposure, and compare its light and openness with individual older NoMad apartments. The amenity suite is genuinely deep, which is part of what you pay to carry; weigh it against how you'll actually use a 75-foot pool and a full spa.

The real-estate tax line needs verifying, not assuming. Check the unit's current tax bill and any exemption or abatement in NYC Department of Finance records; if a benefit applies, confirm its eligibility, phase-out schedule and expiration, and model the tax line after it ends before you commit, especially on a long hold. Condominium ownership does not remove application requirements or establish unrestricted financing, entity ownership, pied-à-terre use or a guaranteed closing timetable; confirm the current documents for the proposed transaction. We help buyers read the offering plan, verify the tax position, and benchmark the price against the NoMad and Midtown South new-development set.

Lead with the architecture and the views: the corner living rooms and bedrooms, 11-foot ceilings, and high-floor sightlines are concrete differentiators against the rest of the neighborhood's inventory, and the building's status as NoMad's tallest residential tower is a marketing asset. The 30,000-square-foot amenity program reinforces the case.

Have the unit's current tax bill and Department of Finance exemption record ready — a sophisticated buyer will check whether any abatement applies and when it ends, and documenting it in advance protects the deal. Benchmark to NoMad and Midtown South's newest condominiums rather than to the area's converted lofts. Prepare the current purchase application and transaction documents for the condominium’s right-of-first-refusal process, and confirm any financial-document requests and timing before promising a closing date. We position resales to that pool and price to the new-development comparable set.
