By Carter Horsley   |   From Archives Monday, September 19, 2005
Two stories are being added to the 12-story building at 76 Madison Avenue that is being converted from offices to residential condominium apartments by 76 Madison Realty LLC, of which Henry Hay and Harlan Berger are principals.

The building, which has recently begun selling, has 30 one- to three-bedroom apartments, is on the southwest corner at 28th Street, two blocks north of Madison Square Park.

It will have a landscaped roof deck and butler service from Geoffrey Zakarian's new restaurant Country.

The building's offering plan, which was submitted in January and amended in March has a total offering price of more than $46 million with prices ranging from $895,000 to $4,500,000. Earlier in the year, prices ranged from $715,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with 825 square feet on the second floor to $3,170,000 for a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath penthouse with 2,654 square feet of interior space and 1,381 square feet of exterior space.

The building was erected in the early 1900s and has a beige-brick facade with limestone door surrounds on the first floor, string courses at the third and fourth stories and decorative piers, stringcourse and cornice at the 11th and 12th floors. John A. Cetra Architects P.C., is the architect for the renovation of the building, which will have an entrance with a marquee on the sidestreet.
