PROJECT / COMMERCIAL
510 Madison Avenue
This 30-story commercial office building was designed by MdeAS for Macklowe Properties. The building's floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall was designed to maximize the natural light streaming into the building's interior spaces. The five-story base anchors the 25-story tower with a gravity transfer truss and scenic roof terrace on the sixth floor. The transfer truss also allows for tower floors free from interior columns.
Both top and bottom are clad in a meticulously-detailed curtain wall that seamlessly unifies the building. With a lobby entry on the 53rd Street side, 510 Madison offers full retail frontage on Madison Avenue. The LEED Gold building also affords unique tenant amenities, a top-tier health club, and a lap pool.

Tower on a Plaza
Rising out of this base is a 25-story Miesian “Tower on a Plaza,” the plaza of which is a rooftop terrace 6-stories above the ground where the tower sets back from Madison Avenue. These two volumetric forms, connected with a carefully detailed truss at the 7th floor, are both clad in a gossamer-like skin which unifies them with the pure, modular geometry.
