The Whitman is a 4-unit boutique condominium directly facing Madison Square Park — a 2013 conversion of a 1924 Clarence B. Whitman & Sons textile showroom "originally designed to resemble a London trading house." That 4-unit boutique configuration is the smallest condominium scale in the NoMad / Flatiron corridor, and its Madison Park Historic District context locks in an LPC-protected exterior identity. The discretion of so few apartments has attracted a trophy cultural resident roster — Chelsea Clinton, who took a full floor at $10.5M in 2013, NASCAR's Jeff Gordon, and hedge-fund principal John Silvetz, all at $10M+ per public records.
The penthouse: 6,540 sf interior + 3,000 sf exterior; 44-ft living room with skylight overlooking Madison Square Park; 23-ft dining room; 22-ft open kitchen.
