1122 Madison Avenue in Upper East Side
1122 Madison Avenue represents the singular vision of William Sofield, the AD100 Hall of Fame designer whose work for Tom Ford and Gucci redefined modern luxury. Here, Sofield brings that same exacting eye to one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses, creating 26 residences that blur the line between fine art and architecture. Every detail, from the lobby's bespoke millwork to the residences' custom hardware, reflects a designer who has spent decades perfecting the language of refined living.
What sets 1122 Madison Avenue apart is its unwavering commitment to material authenticity. Hand-laid Indiana limestone wraps all four facades, a distinction almost unheard of in contemporary Manhattan construction, where side and rear elevations are typically finished in lesser materials. The result is a building that commands its corner with a permanence and gravitas reminiscent of the Upper East Side's most storied prewar landmarks.
Protected Central Park views are secured through strategically purchased air rights, ensuring that residents will enjoy unobstructed sightlines over the park canopy and the Manhattan skyline for generations. The $89.5M penthouse sets a new pricing record for the Upper East Side, signaling the arrival of a building that belongs in the same conversation as 220 Central Park South and the most exclusive addresses in the world.

Why Buyers Choose 1122 Madison Avenue
William Sofield's Only Ground-Up Residential Building
This is a rare opportunity to own a residence conceived entirely by an AD100 Hall of Fame designer. Sofield's involvement extends from the limestone facade to the interior hardware, delivering a level of design cohesion that cannot be replicated through decoration alone.
Indiana Limestone on All Four Facades
Hand-laid Indiana limestone wrapping every elevation is a material commitment that places 1122 Madison Avenue alongside the Upper East Side's greatest prewar landmarks. This is not a glass tower with a stone accent wall. It is a building built to endure.
Protected Central Park Views
Purchased air rights guarantee that Central Park views from upper floors will never be compromised by future development. In a borough where views are never permanent, this is an exceptionally rare and valuable assurance.
Ultra-Low Density at 26 Residences
With only 26 residences across 22 stories, 1122 Madison Avenue offers a level of exclusivity and privacy that larger buildings cannot match. The intimate scale ensures personalized service and a refined residential experience.
Our Take on 1122 Madison Avenue
1122 Madison Avenue represents a generational entry point into the Upper East Side's most elite tier. William Sofield's involvement transforms this from a luxury condominium into a design landmark, and the building's hand-laid limestone construction ensures it will age with the grace of the neighborhood's finest prewar buildings.
For buyers comparing options in the $10M-and-above segment, 1122 Madison Avenue offers something the glass towers of Billionaires' Row cannot: a contextual, materially authentic building on a tree-lined Upper East Side block. The protected Central Park views and 26-unit exclusivity add layers of long-term value that are difficult to find elsewhere in the current market.
Our advisory team has deep familiarity with 1122 Madison Avenue's floor plans, pricing structure, and competitive positioning. Whether you are evaluating this building against 520 Park Avenue, 109 East 79th Street, or The Benson, we provide the comparative analysis and transaction support needed to make a confident decision.

1122 Madison Avenue: William Sofield's Defining Upper East Side Statement
1122 Madison Avenue is not simply a new condominium on the Upper East Side. It is the product of a singular creative vision, one that belongs to William Sofield, the AD100 Hall of Fame designer whose aesthetic has shaped the way the world experiences luxury through his work with Tom Ford and Gucci. At 22 stories and just 26 residences, this building has been conceived with an intimacy and intentionality that stands apart from the scale-driven developments elsewhere in Manhattan.
The building's hand-laid Indiana limestone facade, wrapping all four elevations, is a declaration of seriousness. In a market where most developers reserve premium materials for the street-facing wall, 1122 Madison Avenue insists on integrity from every angle. This commitment to material authenticity extends inside, where Sofield's interiors feature bespoke millwork, custom metalwork, and stone selections that reflect decades of refinement at the highest level of design.
Location reinforces the building's stature. Positioned at the border of Carnegie Hill and the Upper East Side, 1122 Madison Avenue offers protected Central Park views secured through purchased air rights. Residents look out over the park canopy and across the skyline knowing those sightlines are permanently safeguarded. The surrounding neighborhood provides immediate access to Museum Mile, Madison Avenue shopping, and some of the city's finest schools and cultural institutions.
With a penthouse priced at $89.5M, 1122 Madison Avenue enters the conversation alongside 220 Central Park South and the most exclusive addresses in global real estate. For buyers seeking a residence that combines world-class design, material permanence, and an irreplaceable Upper East Side location, this is the defining new offering in Manhattan. Manhattan Miami's advisory team is available for private consultations and early access to availability.

Apartments for Sale at 1122 Madison Avenue
Availability at 1122 Madison Avenue is limited due to the building's 26-unit scale and strong early sales activity.

1122 Madison vs Other Upper East Side Developments
1122 Madison Avenue occupies a distinct position within the Upper East Side market.

International Buyer Appeal
1122 Madison Avenue attracts international buyers seeking a stable, dollar-denominated asset in one of Manhattan's most established residential neighborhoods. As a condominium, the building allows foreign buyers to purchase without co-op board restrictions - a significant advantage on the Upper East Side, where much of the premium inventory is held in co-op structures.

Manhattan Real Estate Market Intelligence
Market Context: Manhattan luxury condominium pricing is segmented by sub-market. The Billionaires’ Row corridor (57th Street, between Park Avenue and Columbus Circle) carries the highest price-per-foot in the United States, with trophy residences trading $4,000-$10,000+ per SF. Downtown Manhattan (Tribeca, West Village, Soho) has its own ultra-luxury tier driven by limited supply of new development. Upper East Side and Upper West Side condo medians sit materially below downtown trophy levels but offer larger floor plates and Central Park access. Pricing in Manhattan is sensitive to interest rates, mansion-tax brackets, and the offering-plan stage of any given building.
Sponsor-direct new development in 2026 includes 80 Clarkson (West Village), 255 East 77th (Upper East Side), 140 Jane (West Village), 1122 Madison (Carnegie Hill), and Mandarin Oriental Fifth Avenue. Completed buildings with sponsor inventory remaining include Central Park Tower, 220 Central Park South, 53 West 53, 111 West 57th, and 50 West 66th. Each carries a distinct sponsor history, construction lender, offering-plan amendment cadence, and 421-a or other tax-abatement status that must be diligenced individually.
Why This Matters: Manhattan’s structural inputs include the New York Attorney General-supervised offering plan process (provides buyer-side procedural protection not available in less-regulated markets), the depth of the resale market (high liquidity at exit), and constrained near-term supply (limited zoning capacity in core sub-markets). Risks to underwrite at contract: mansion-tax bracket inflation above $2M, transfer-tax assumption by buyer on sponsor sales, lot-line and view-corridor exposure on specific lots, condo board sublet and resale policies, and 421-a phase-out schedule where applicable. Status of any individual project, sponsor inventory level, AG offering plan amendment, pricing, or sales percentage should be verified at the time of inquiry.
Key Facts
- Trophy Manhattan condo $/SF range: $1,500-$10,000+
- Billionaires’ Row average $/SF: $4,000-$10,000+
- Downtown trophy (Tribeca/West Village) $/SF: $2,500-$6,000+
- Mansion tax: 1% above $1M, graduated brackets above $2M for buyer
- Typical sponsor contract deposit: 10%-20% at signing
- Standard buyer-attorney review window: 1-3 business days from contract delivery
- Sponsor-side commission: developer pays buyer agent on sponsor sales
- Tax-abatement programs (where applicable): 421-a, J-51, status verified building-by-building
- Foreign-national LLC ownership: common, structured at contract
Buyer Procedure
Manhattan sponsor-sales procedure: reservation form → offering plan delivery → buyer attorney review → contract execution and initial deposit → mortgage commitment (if financed) → closing at delivery. Sponsor-inventory and resale procedures differ; advisory pre-tour planning is recommended.
Manhattan Real Estate FAQs
What is the New York Attorney General offering plan?
The offering plan is the legal document filed with the New York Attorney General that governs the sale of every Manhattan condominium. It defines deposit handling, unit specifications, common charges, real estate taxes, sponsor obligations, and buyer protections. No Manhattan condo sale closes outside the framework of an accepted offering plan; amendments are filed periodically and reviewed by buyer attorneys at contract.
What is sponsor inventory?
Sponsor inventory refers to unsold units still held by the building’s developer (the “sponsor”). Sponsor units are brand-new, never lived-in, and may include negotiable pricing, closing-cost credits, and access to tax-abatement programs where the building has them. Sponsor-side transactions follow the offering plan, not the standard resale contract.
What tax abatements apply in Manhattan?
421-a is the most common Manhattan condo abatement, providing reduced real-estate-tax exposure for 10 to 25 years on qualifying new developments. J-51 applies to specific rehabilitated buildings. Each abatement has a phase-out schedule and building-specific qualification status that must be verified in the offering plan and the most recent tax certificate.
What closing costs apply on a Manhattan condo?
Typical buyer-side closing costs run 2% to 4% of price, including NYC and NYS transfer taxes (often assumed by buyer on sponsor sales), mansion tax (1% above $1M with graduated brackets above $2M), title insurance, buyer attorney fee, mortgage recording tax if financed, and prorated common charges and real estate taxes.
Are common charges the same as HOA fees?
No. Manhattan condos use the term “common charges,” not HOA fees. Common charges fund building operations, staff, amenities, and reserves. Real estate taxes are billed separately by NYC and are not part of common charges.
How does Manhattan Miami get paid on Manhattan transactions?
On sponsor-side new development purchases, the developer pays Manhattan Miami’s buyer-agent commission. Buyer representation is at no out-of-pocket cost to the buyer. On resale transactions, commission arrangements are disclosed at engagement.
