Overview of 15 Madison Square North at 15 East 26th Street

15 Madison Square North, originally known as the Madison Square Building, was constructed in 1912 by architects Maynicke & Franke in a neo-Medieval style. The 20 story building at 15 West 26th Street features a light beige brick façade with a three story limestone base, decorative figures on the third and 17th floors, and limestone escutcheons surrounded by owls on the fourth floor. In 2006, developer Madison Park Owner LLC, led by Ernest Faraci of Walters & Samuels, converted the top 12 floors into 69 luxury condominium apartments, with Dan Goldner Architects handling the conversion and Nathan Egan Interiors designing the residential spaces. The lower eight floors remain commercial.

The building overlooks Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building from its midblock location between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Residences range from one to six bedrooms, with the largest units exceeding 7,300 square feet. Most apartments feature soaring 11.5 to 12 foot ceilings, deep set oversized windows, and Brazilian walnut floors throughout. Many units offer multiple exposures with open city and park views, including sightlines to the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. Several larger apartments include private terraces, and some feature working gas fireplaces that can be converted to wood burning.

Kitchens are designed by Italian firm Arclinea with ebonized cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops, and white quartz islands. Appliances include Sub-Zero refrigerators with separate freezer drawers, Viking six burner ranges with Grohe pot fillers, and Miele dishwashers, convection ovens, warming drawers, and espresso machines. Most kitchens also feature dual zone wine refrigerators. Bathrooms showcase Waterworks fixtures and custom cabinetry with floor-to-ceiling Bianco Dolomiti marble, Cambridge soaking tubs, and glass enclosed walk-in showers. All units include in-unit vented washer/dryers.

The building provides white glove service with a 24 hour doorman, concierge, and on-site resident manager. The grand wood paneled lobby features custom silk Tibetan rugs and a concierge desk. Amenities include a 2,200 square foot two level fitness center with steam room and sauna, developed with consultation from Robin Brown of CLAY Fitness Center and Spa. Additional facilities include a landscaped rooftop terrace with skyline views, a children's playroom, bike storage, and private storage lockers. The temperature controlled wine cellar offers individual 100 to 200 bottle lockers, with the wine program designed with input from Peter Morrell of Morrell & Company.

The building is pet friendly and pied-à-terre friendly with a 2% flip tax. Notable residents have included Bob Vila of home improvement television fame. The location provides exceptional access to transportation, with the 6, N, R, W, M, and PATH trains all within moments, and proximity to the neighborhood's acclaimed restaurants including Gramercy Tavern, ABC Kitchen, Eataly, and the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. The surrounding area encompasses the Flatiron, NoMad, and Gramercy Park districts with their thriving interior design showrooms and shopping destinations like Dover Street Market.
