A newly built partial-floor sublease provides an efficient mix of enclosed offices, team seating, and support space within a high-end Midtown East installation. The available portion contains fourteen private offices, one conference room, four phone rooms, and twenty workstations, with the existing furniture allowing an incoming tenant to occupy the space with limited additional setup. Offered as part of a larger eighth-floor installation, the suite can function independently while retaining the quality and infrastructure of the broader buildout.
Entry is from the central elevator core into a defined reception area finished with warm millwork and integrated shelving. From reception, circulation leads directly into the principal open work area, where two long workstation runs accommodate twenty seats. This central arrangement keeps the workstations together as a cohesive team environment while leaving the window perimeter primarily available for enclosed rooms.
Fourteen private offices are distributed around the perimeter and along the enclosed office corridor. Most are furnished as individual executive or professional offices with desks, guest seating, and storage, while several larger rooms can accommodate additional seating for collaborative work. Glass fronts on interior-facing rooms help carry daylight beyond the perimeter and maintain visual connectivity between the enclosed offices and open workspace.
The meeting program includes one dedicated conference room, supplemented by four enclosed phone rooms positioned together near the open work area. The conference room provides formal meeting capacity, while the phone rooms give employees separate places for calls, video meetings, or focused individual work without occupying a private office. A furnished pantry and café-style area adds another gathering point, with built-in cabinetry, appliances, counter space, and seating for meals or informal meetings.
Large perimeter windows provide strong daylight across the office and frame Midtown views from both private rooms and shared work areas. Contemporary finishes include light flooring, glass office fronts, integrated lighting, custom millwork, and neutral furnishings. Building amenities further support the workplace with additional conference facilities, a fitness center, locker rooms, and showers. The sublease offers a ready-to-use professional environment combining substantial private-office capacity with efficient open seating and dedicated spaces for calls, meetings, and employee support.

About the Building
477 Madison Avenue is a 24-story, approximately 325,000-square-foot Class A office building located at the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and East 51st Street in Manhattan’s Plaza District. Completed in 1953, the building occupies a prominent Midtown location directly across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and close to Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue. Its distinctive setback design creates a series of upper-floor terraces while providing numerous exposures and impressive views across Midtown.
Designed by Kahn & Jacobs, 477 Madison Avenue is characterized by a side-core configuration and flexible office floor plates ranging from approximately 5,000 to 19,000 square feet. The layout allows tenants to accommodate private-office-intensive installations as well as more open workplace configurations. Large windows provide substantial natural light, while the building’s setbacks create opportunities for private landscaped terraces overlooking St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the surrounding Midtown skyline.
The property underwent a major repositioning after RFR acquired the building in 2019. Working with MdeAS Architects, ownership modernized the property while preserving its mid-century architectural character. Improvements included a refreshed façade, new oversized windows, upgraded mechanical systems, renovated restrooms, redesigned outdoor areas with glass railings and landscaping, and improvements to the building lobby. The redevelopment was completed in 2021.
A significant component of the renovation was the creation of a dedicated tenant amenity center known as The Club House. The amenity program includes a fitness center with locker rooms and showers, wellness and yoga facilities, conference and meeting rooms, recreation space, a tenant lounge and a large catering pantry. Bicycle storage is also available. Throughout the building, approximately 15,000 square feet of outdoor terraces provide additional tenant space and take advantage of the property’s stepped architecture.
477 Madison Avenue also benefits from an unusually strong location within Midtown. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is immediately across East 51st Street, while Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue shopping, the Lotte New York Palace and numerous restaurants and hotels are within a few blocks. Grand Central Terminal is within walking distance, providing Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road connections in addition to extensive subway access. The E and M trains at Fifth Avenue–53rd Street are less than 500 feet away, with the 6 train at 51st Street and additional subway lines available throughout the surrounding Midtown corridor.
With its flexible floor plates, abundant natural light, landscaped terraces, extensive tenant amenities and extensively upgraded infrastructure, 477 Madison Avenue combines the scale and services of a modern Class A office building with the character of a boutique Madison Avenue property. Its location opposite St. Patrick’s Cathedral and near Rockefeller Center gives tenants a particularly recognizable address in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
