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." The structural identity rests on three features.
First, the 4-unit boutique configuration — the smallest condominium scale in the NoMad / Flatiron corridor. Second, the Madison Park Historic District context — LPC-protected exterior identity. Third, the trophy cultural resident roster — Chelsea Clinton (full-floor, $10.5M, 2013), Jeff Gordon (NASCAR), John Silvetz (hedge-fund), all at $10M+ per CityRealty.
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.
