Plans Revealed for Residential High-Rise at 172 Madison, New York City

New York City-based Tessler Developments has unveiled the designs and plans for 172 Madison, its latest offering to the Manhattan residential landscape.
According to Tessler, every feature, service, and amenity of the 34-floor glass tower has been tailored to fit the genuine needs and “wish list” items of the current Manhattan condominium buyer.
Located in the trendy NoMad area, while being situated directly on historic, prestigious Madison Avenue, the upscale condominium will feature 69 units, split between 17 one-bedrooms of around 900 square feet (84 square meters) each, 40 two-bedrooms of about 1,500 square feet (140 square meters) each, six three-bedrooms around 2,150 square feet (200 square meters), as well as the Sky House, Mansion, and four penthouses.
Architect Karl Fischer and interior designer Shamir Shah, who both have worked with Tessler on previous projects 150 Nassau and 260 Park Avenue South, designed the building to be “a modern interpretation of the neighborhood’s rich history.” The tower is being constructed on a solid concrete base, with vertical stone columns punctuating the glass façade.
“My inspiration for this building was the glamour – not to mention the understated elegance – of the mansions that lined Madison Avenue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The key challenge was to capture the feel of, on the one hand, a rich and iconic history, and on the other, the spirit of an incredibly alive and vibrant neighborhood, one with more restaurants, fashion, and energy than perhaps any other part of a city, which itself is known for its dynamism,” said Karl Fischer, the architect.
The ground floor is designed with two retail spaces. Residences begin on the third floor, and the one- and two-bedroom units begin on the fourth floor.
Special features of the Mansion, Sky House, and penthouses will be revealed soon, but Tessler Developments did disclose a few special touches made with the end user’s satisfaction in mind: Every unit is a corner unit, which was made possible by laying out the homes with careful forethought, keeping each floor to a maximum of three homes, the developers say; every unit has a powder room, allowing for privacy while entertaining. Additionally, every bedroom has an en suite bath.
The sales office, next door to the construction site, will open in mid-March. Occupancy is expected in late 2016.
