The Benson (1045 Madison Ave)
An 18-story, 250 foot tall condominium building with 86,750 GSF. This project features 14 spacious condos situated mid-block on Madison Avenue, between 79th & 80th Streets. Within the building there are both sub cellar amenity spaces and a rooftop terrace. Amenities include a gym, flex room and theater. Ground floor spaces contain the residential lobby, a fully fit out retail space and two "white box" retail spaces.
The building façade consists of hand set limestone and brick. Adjacent properties bound the building to the North & South. The stately classical arrival, with sculpted Indiana limestone and detailed iron double-set doors, encloses a divinely detailed jewel box lobby. Sophisticated and intimate, the arrival embodies the heart and soul of the Upper East Side.
