Madison House

The decagonal plan is the architectural argument and the lifestyle one at once: by angling the building's faces, the design hands nearly every home open corners and long sightlines, and the column-free interiors give the layouts unusual flexibility. 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 is among the most complete in the neighborhood: 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.

As a new condominium, Madison House offers the ownership latitude that defines the form. There is no co-op board approval or financial-package submission — a purchase clears through a standard condominium right of first refusal that is rarely exercised, making the process faster and lighter than any co-op. Financing is flexible, with no board-imposed cap. Pied-à-terre, foreign, trust, LLC, co-purchase, and investment ownership are all customary, and subletting is permitted with condominium-level freedom. One carrying-cost fact every buyer should price in: the building benefits from a 421-a tax abatement that runs through 2037, which keeps current real-estate taxes low but steps up materially when the abatement expires — a known timeline to underwrite, not a surprise.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $2,422/sf across 5 sales. Median listing discount 2.3% 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) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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 — buy the layout and the floor that exploit them, and you are getting light and openness that older NoMad stock simply can't match. 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 single most important number to underwrite is the tax abatement. The 421-a benefit runs through 2037 and keeps today's carrying cost low, but it steps up significantly at expiration — so model both the current and the post-abatement tax line before you commit, especially on a long hold. The condominium structure is otherwise a clear advantage: free financing, entity ownership, pied-à-terre use, and a fast closing path. We help buyers read the offering plan, model the abatement step-up, and benchmark the price against the NoMad and Midtown South new-development set.

Lead with the architecture and the views: the decagonal column-free corners, 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.

Be transparent and proactive about the abatement timeline — a sophisticated buyer will price the 2037 step-up, and getting ahead of it in your positioning protects the deal. Benchmark to NoMad and Midtown South's newest condominiums rather than to the area's converted lofts. The condominium closing path — a right of first refusal, no board package — is itself a selling point to the flexibility-minded buyer this building attracts. We position resales to that pool and price to the new-development comparable set.
