An icon restored at 550 Madison, 2016
Designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, 550 Madison Avenue is one of the city’s most recognizable architectural masterworks – a postmodern gem known for its distinctive “Chippendale” curved roof pediment and pink granite façade. The Olayan Group has led a comprehensive revitalization effort of this landmarked, 8500,00 square foot office tower, including a new half-acre public garden, extraordinary tenant-only amenity and wellness spaces, and extensive air quality and sustainability initiatives that have achieved LEED Platinum environmental certification. The project transformed the single-tenant tower into a contemporary multi-tenant property that has attracted world-class tenants.
