Located on the northern edge of Madison Square Park in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, the Grand Madison is one of Manhattan’s most attractive pre-war apartment buildings. Built in 1906 in a renaissance-revival style, this red-brick pre-war 12-story mid-rise has an elegant limestone base and ornate stone carvings below the roof. The Grand Madison, located at 225 Fifth Avenue, was formerly the Brunswick Hotel and also known as the Gift Building, and this 12-story pre-war mid-rise specialized in providing elegant showrooms for retailers, which speaks to the classic style and elegance that can still be found at The Grand Madison.
The 200 luxury condos in The Grand Madison were fully renovated in 2006, during which time renovators installed hardwood flooring, chef’s kitchens, and marble bathrooms to complement the high ceilings found in the Grand Madison’s pre-war apartments. This full-service condo conversion process also entail a gut renovation for the building itself. New HVAC components, elevators, and windows were added, as well as duplex apartments on the upper floors of the Grand Madison.
This classic building combines Old New York style with modern amenities. The Grand Madison offers 24-hour white-gloved doorman and concierge service, hall porter service, and a landscaped interior courtyard that gives the luxury condos additional exposures and more natural light. This pet-friendly condo building also offers a rooftop deck and state-of-the-art gym. And the Grand Madison’s envious location in Flatiron offers residents convenient access to one of Manhattan’s best parks, the art galleries of Chelsea, and the multiple independent retailers and restaurants in Flatiron.
