Speaking of Naomi Watts, she traded up.

Here is an article back on Aug 8th from WSJ

Watts, Schreiber Revise Condo Plans

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are relisting the two condominiums they'd agreed to buy at New York's still-unfinished One Madison Park high-rise. Instead, the actors now intend to purchase a larger apartment at the development's planned annex, says a person familiar with their plans.
The two-bedrooms to be relisted, at $3.525 million and $4.15 million, occupy the entire 27th floor of the glass-tower luxury development, which overlooks Madison Square Park. The completed building will have a lobby designed by Rem Koolhaas and panoramic city views.

The developer has allowed the couple to resell their contracts because they are upgrading within the complex, according to their listing agent, Wilbur Gonzalez of Brown Harris Stevens. The new apartment has four bedrooms and a roughly $10 million asking price; the entire annex building will be designed by Mr. Koolhaas.

Ms. Watts got an Oscar nomination for the 2003 drama "21 Grams"; Mr. Schreiber is perhaps best known for his work in the 2004 remake of "The Manchurian Candidate." Spokeswomen for the actors didn't return calls and emails requesting comment.

Love how the tower blends in with the blue evening sunset sky, at least in the render.

Walked by this building yesterday evening. I envy the folks who are buying into that building. It is magnificient. That said, the south facing units will suck.

**Greentrojan** · October 6th, 2008, 05:18 PM

All units are either half or full floor throughs, but why do you think the south facing units would suck?

**stache** · October 6th, 2008, 05:47 PM

It's the service area.

**Nordikon** · October 6th, 2008, 06:43 PM

Actually, the elevator banks/stairwell/mechanicals take up much of the south wall. And there is no unit that only faces south. Even the 1/2 floor units face at least three directions (North/East/South or North/West/South).

That grey boxy top on chelsea Stratus over on 7th ave. looks really bad. Couldn't they have found a better way of hiding the mechanical equipment and water tower. I mean come on. They could have at least tried to create something better than what looks like an almost 4 story box covered in grey bricks. One Madison on the other hand is looking great so far.
