Broker & Buyer Comments

"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. Excellent lower Fifth Avenue / Flatiron location - very central to Gramercy, Chelsea, and Murray Hill. Madison Square Park is also directly across the street, plus the N, R, W subway trains a couple blocks away."

"Roof-deck, inner courtyard. Prewar architecture, nice, functional layouts, top of the line "fit & finish". Developer is "Elad", known for their "high end" work including the Plaza hotel. New....Gut renovation, so same as new construction. Building has been renamed: The Grand Madison Right across the street from Madison Sqaure Park! Near many great restaurants located on Park Avenue South...and also on the side streets."

"totally gut renovated Health club amenities lobby well done has upscale Grand Entrance Pre war flatiron near everything......all public transportation ,stores , resturants"

"beautiful lobby, f/t doorman, prewar architecture mixed with modern decor Madison Sq Park at doorstep, subway 1 block, many restaurants and shops a few blocks away"

"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. Fifth Avenue famous north-south street of the borough of Manhattan, New York City. It begins at Washington Square and ends at the Harlem River. Between 34th and 59th streets, Fifth Ave. is lined with fashionable department stores and specialty shops. Close to the subway trains N,R,Q,W."
