JD Carlisle Development and Fosun International Limited have officially unveiled Madison House as the name for their 62-story, 199-unit condo tower in progress at 15 East 30th Street. The developer duo celebrated the announcement by launching a sparse yet tantalizing teaser site, which promises to grow in content as Nomad’s soon-to-be-tallest skyscraper ascends toward its 805-foot pinnacle.

The nearly-topped-out skyscraper, for a time known as 126 Madison Avenue, is the latest addition to a neighborhood noted for its outstanding high-rise design ever since the Flatiron Building rose across from Madison Square in 1902, and the nearby, 700-foot Metropolitan Life Tower became the world’s tallest building in 1909. For Madison House, Handel Architects evidently drew inspiration for the uninterrupted, light-colored vertical terra cotta bands from the limestone piers of the Empire State Building, which towers just two blocks to the north and comes into full view from nearly every north- and west-facing apartment.

Aside from the “king of skyscrapers,” no other nearby tower can contend with Madison House. The dual chamfers atop the sculpted pinnacle will overtop even the 778-foot-tall prism of the Madison Square Park Tower, which rose a few blocks to the south just two years ago. Only the legendary peak of the Empire State would intrude into the 360-degree vista that would open from the duplex penthouse, which looks upon Downtown, Midtown, Hudson Yards, the East and Hudson Rivers, and the vast expanse of the metropolis that stretches to the horizon.

Panoramic windows, which stretch from the floor to the 11-foot ceiling, further enhance the grandeur of lofty living in the sky. Gachot Studios brings their trademark touch of “warm minimalism” to the interiors of the one- to four-bedroom apartments, each of which will feature at least one unobstructed corner window.

The 30,000-square-foot amenity suite will include a 75-foot lap pool, a cold plunge pool, a spa, gym, golf simulator, game room, library, private lounge with chef’s kitchen and dining room, and a landscaped rooftop garden.

Sales are expected to launch this fall, with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing as the sales and marketing agent. Prices will range from $1.55 million for one-bedroom units to over $25 million for the penthouses, which will boast rooftop terraces and private elevator entries.
