Twenty9th Park Madison is one of the buildings that defined NoMad's transition into a residential condominium market. Completed in 2009 as a 34-story glass tower designed by H. Thomas O'Hara for Spanish developers, it was among the tallest glass towers in the neighborhood at completion and was recognized with a Best High-Rise award, signaling NoMad's arrival as a corridor for contemporary luxury development rather than only commercial and wholesale use.
The building's position — East 29th Street between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue South — is central to NoMad's appeal. It sits between Madison Square Park to the south and the Murray Hill and Flatiron amenity bases, with the restaurant and hotel density that turned NoMad into one of Manhattan's most talked-about neighborhoods over the 2010s. Buyers get a modern glass tower with light and views in a corridor that has held its cachet.
As a full-flexibility condominium, the building serves the NoMad buyer profile directly: pieds-à-terre, investment use, and subletting are all permitted, and closings are fast — features that matter to the international and part-time buyers the neighborhood attracts.
Architecture and unit composition
The 132 residences distribute across 34 stories in a contemporary glass curtain-wall envelope totaling roughly 140,000 square feet. The building presents a double-height cubed lobby at street level and a clean, modern facade above.
Apartments emphasize floor-to-ceiling glass and open city light, with ceiling heights stepping up toward the top of the building — penthouses reach roughly thirteen feet against the nine-to-ten-foot heights on lower floors. The unit mix runs from one-bedrooms through larger penthouse layouts, with floor, exposure, ceiling height, and outdoor space where present driving the pricing spread. Higher floors capture open views across NoMad and toward Midtown.
Building operations
Twenty9th Park Madison operates as a full-service condominium with a doorman and concierge, a fitness center, a resident lounge, and hotel-style services consistent with its luxury-condo positioning. Pets are permitted under building rules.
As a condominium, the building offers standard condo flexibility — pieds-à-terre, investment use, and subletting are permitted under the declaration. Common charges and property taxes should be modeled for the specific apartment; buyers should review current financials, any assessments, and the reserve position during due diligence.
Recent sales
Twenty9th Park Madison trades as a NoMad luxury condominium, read on a price-per-square-foot basis. Recent closings have run around the low-to-mid $1,800s per square foot, with average sale prices in the low-to-mid seven figures depending on size and floor. Pricing is driven by floor, exposure, ceiling height, and condition, with the elevated-ceiling upper floors and penthouses commanding the premium.
The building's combination — a 2009 glass tower with strong light, elevated ceilings, and full condominium flexibility, in a corridor that has retained its desirability — supports steady demand across the NoMad buyer pool.
