Broker & buyer comments

"Apartments in this great building have high-end finishes and kitchens with Viking appliances."
"The building has a glorious, large marble lobby and is one of the only condos on lower Fifth Avenue."
"Totally gut renovated health club. Amenities and lobby are well done."
"The Grand Madison, built in 1906, was recently converted to condominiums and is located directly on Madison Square Park at the corner of Fifth Avenue. The building is an architectural masterpiece, which has lovingly been restored to provide all of the grandeur of a pre-war building. Full-time doorman and gym area."
"The Grand Madison is a conversion from a pre-war office building to a full service, luxury condominium building. The only amenities offered are a full time doorman, concierge, and fitness center."
