Construction Tour: The Wales at 1295 Madison Avenue
Construction is ongoing at the renovation of the Wales, a 10-story landmarked Neo-Renaissance building on the Upper East Side. Originally built in 1899 by architect Louis Korn, the former hotel is now being converted into condo residences by developer Adellco with interiors by Cabinet Alberto Pinto. Along with restoring the cornices, quoins, and brickwork of the facade, the project will also add a new entablature from the original architect’s design. When completed, the project will offer 21 residential units ranging in size from two- to four-bedrooms, along with a five-bedroom penthouse in a new structure at the roof.
