Macklowe bought 30,000+ sq. ft. of Development-Air Rights from 12 East 53rd Street for $6,500,000
Project is 30-stories and 350,000 sf plus one floor with a pool and health club, where the tower will setback. The site is built out at this size as well without additional purchases or air rights
Wasn't this one suppose to be commercial?
If so, why a pool and health club?
its commercial but they are dedicating half a floor to a healthclub
it will be leased in no time
510 madison ave
I work with a guy who lives at 14 e 53rd st where the deli was the ground level retail. He, along with the other three apartment tenants, came to a buyout agreement last week. This should be the final parcel to complete the package for development of 510 Madison. He also went on to say that he had to be out by Feb 27. Since all of the tenants were negotiating as a group I would imagine that everyone in the building is under the same date to vacate. I have never been inside the building but he told me that before being divided into apartments it had been a private club with quite a lavish interior.
I just saw some vid on CNN of a big explosion / fireball at a construction site @ Madison / 53rd ...
I wouldn't be surprised, it seems like Macklowe can't build anything without controversy.
So, THAT'S what had the whole neighborhood full of smoke and stink. I was wondering.I just saw some vid on CNN of a big explosion / fireball at a construction site @ Madison / 53rd ...
I hope whatever tenant signs goes bankrupt...
Hedge fund close to 510 Mad lease

510 Madison Avenue, the high-end boutique office tower being developed by Macklowe Properties, is close to attracting its first tenant almost a year before the building is scheduled to be completed, according to sources.
The hedge fund, Enso Capital Management, is said to be in negotiations to take a floor in the new 30-story tower for rents in the range of $150 to $175 per s/f. A broker with knowledge of the deal explained that the exact price would be determined by which floor the tenant decided to take and indicated that the deal was still in a preliminary stage.
One of just a handful of new commercial towers to rise in midtown in recent years because of a scarcity of development opportunities in the district, 510 Madison Avenue is expected to be a popular entry into the tight midtown office market for tenants who can afford its triple figure rents.
It is not unusual for office buildings that are under construction to attract tenants well before completion, but a source with expert knowledge of the city's market for high priced space explained that the timing of the deal was ahead of when 510 Madison Avenue is anticipated to do the bulk of its leasing.
With a planned onsite swimming pool, health club and restaurant, as well as floors that will range in size from 11,500 s/f to 16,500 s/f, 510 Madison Avenue is expected to have the exclusive club-like atmosphere and boutique space that will be attractive to financial companies like private equity firms and hedge funds. Unlike larger tenants who often search for space years in advance of when their current leases expire, private equity firms and hedge funds usually take their office space only a few months ahead because their space needs are modest and their pockets deep.

Enso Capital Management is already a tenant of Macklowe Properties, at the company's sleek looking tower, 540 Madison, and the relationship between the two lead to the early talks.
Although there have been a number of new office developments in the city, few have commenced on speculation as 510 Madison Avenue has. Experts say that Macklowe Properties could begin construction without the financial security of an anchor tenant because the building is located in a prime section of midtown where there is considered to be an especially high demand for additional supply.
The building is also 350,000 s/f, a relatively modest block that presents less of a leasing risk than a larger building.
A CB Richard Ellis team led by the company's New York CEO Mary Ann Tighe and senior vice president Paul Amrich handles leasing in the building. Neither could be reached for comment. Macklowe Properties also wouldn't comment on the deal.

Why are you against this development. The Drake is one thing, this tower is fine as it did not replace any buildings that stood out
I just don't like Macklowe. Yes, petty, I know.
If you ever meet him, you actually see he is a nice guy, putting aside his poor taste in building
