A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Whitman 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 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 in 2013, NASCAR's Jeff Gordon, and hedge-fund principal John Silvetz.
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.

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.
