About the Building

510 Madison Avenue is a 30-story, approximately 345,000-square-foot Class A office and retail tower located at the northwest corner of Madison Avenue and East 53rd Street in Manhattan’s Plaza District. Completed in 2010 and designed by MdeAS Architects in collaboration with executive architect SLCE Architects, the building was developed as a modern boutique alternative to the neighborhood’s larger corporate office towers. Its floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall provides abundant natural light, while the tower’s structural design creates efficient, largely column-free office floors suitable for financial firms, investment managers, professional services companies, and other high-end office users. The property is LEED Gold certified.

The building’s distinctive configuration consists of a five-story base supporting a slender 25-story tower. A structural transfer system allows the upper office floors to remain free of interior columns, while the setback above the base creates a substantial landscaped terrace on the sixth floor. Office floors feature floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, strong natural light, and open views across Midtown.

510 Madison Avenue also offers an unusually extensive amenity package for a boutique Midtown office building. BXP lists a 6,500-square-foot sixth-floor garden terrace, indoor lounge space, an elite health club, ground-floor client amenities, and retail along Madison Avenue. The building has also undergone a significant recent amenity and lobby improvement program that included expanded client lounges and conference facilities, upgrades to the fitness studio, and a redesign of the sixth-floor indoor lounge and outdoor garden terrace.

The property benefits from a prominent Madison Avenue location between Midtown’s Plaza District and Midtown East business corridors, with Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue, Rockefeller Center and numerous hotels, restaurants and luxury retailers nearby. Subway service is particularly convenient, with the E and M trains at Fifth Avenue–53rd Street less than a block away and additional E, M and 6 service available around Lexington Avenue and 51st–53rd Streets.

BXP acquired 510 Madison Avenue in 2010 following its completion and continues to identify the property as part of its Midtown Manhattan portfolio. Its combination of smaller, efficient floor plates, modern glass construction, substantial tenant amenities and a prime Madison Avenue address positions 510 Madison Avenue as a boutique Class A office option within the Plaza District.
