Thirty years ago, Pritzker Prize winning architect Philip Johnson created his postmodern opus in the heart of Manhattan. Now, Robert A.M. Stern, his one-time student and a celebrated architect in his own right, returns to capture a grand style of New York City living.
Few buildings in the world have commanded the attention of 550 Madison. Since its inception, it has become part of the cultural conversation, achieving archetypal status and fully establishing its role as an icon of American architecture.
Not a single extravagance or expense was spared in the conception of Philip Johnson’s masterpiece, ushering in a new level of craftsmanship and exuberance.
550 Madison is steeped in New York tradition - it is entirely clad in stone from the same quarry that outfitted Grand Central Terminal.
550 Madison will house the first U.S. hotel in the acclaimed Oetker Collection. Residents will enjoy the renowned amenities and unparalleled level of service from this international group of exquisite one-of-a-kind hotels.
At 550 Madison, Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ collection of residences exemplifies an unprecedented attention to detail, setting a new standard for perfectly calibrated opulence, while respecting the grandeur and tradition achieved by Johnson.
