55th Floor Model Residence
From the 75-foot wide granite base, the glass tower rises towards its 777-foot apex, tapering outward on the western façade to a final width of 125 feet. The tower's floor-to-ceiling glass cladding offers panoramic views of New York and New Jersey. Eighty-three residences are offered in a variety of configurations from simplex, duplex, full-floor and penthouse homes. Interiors designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio take inspiration from the Art Deco and Modern precedents of the neighborhood.
The 4,651-square-foot, full-floor residential unit at the 55th floor will offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms. A living and dining room at the northwest corner and a master bedroom at the northeast corner will offer panoramic views of the Midtown skyline, including the prominently featured Empire State Building. A master bathroom at the southeast corner and a secondary bedroom at the southwest corner will offer similarly expansive views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. The kitchen features custom Molteni cabinetry and integrated appliances by Sub-Zero and Miele, with Waterworks fixtures and Nanz hardware.

45 East 22nd Street - Madison Square Park Tower
Superstructure has topped out at Bruce Eichner's tower in the Flatiron District.
Construction has topped out at the Flatiron District's high profile tower at 45 East 22nd Street. Developed by Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company, the 65-story, 777-foot tower is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with construction overseen by Plaza Construction. Recently I was given a sneak peek of the panoramic views from the top.
Nestled mid block amongst the low-rise masonry and stone buildings typical of the Flatiron District, the tower's five-story base will be clad in granite. A quarry was found in China that produces a granite identical to that of Cass Gilbert's United States Custom House in Lower Manhattan from 1907. The granite coursing and bronze detailing of the entry doors and canopy will tie into the neighborhood context and welcome the tower's residents and guests.

45 East 22nd Street - Madison Square Park Tower
Take an exclusive tour of the Flatiron's future tallest tower from developer Bruce Eichner and KPF.
Not to be outdone by the bevy of skyscraper construction underway throughout Manhattan, the Flatiron District is getting its own high profile tower at 45 East 22nd Street. Developer Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company has returned to New York with his 65-story, 777-foot tower rising near Madison Square Park and the recent One Madison. The tower, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, will eclipse the 618-foot-tall One Madison when it tops out next year.
Nestled mid block amongst the low-rise masonry and stone buildings typical of the Flatiron District, the tower's five-story base will be clad in granite. A quarry was found in China that produces a granite identical to that of Cass Gilbert's United States Custom House in Lower Manhattan from 1907. The granite coursing and bronze detailing of the entry doors and canopy will tie into the neighborhood context and welcome the tower's residents and guests.
From the 75-foot wide granite base, the glass tower will rise towards its 777-foot apex, tapering outward on the western facade to a final width of 125 feet.

Currently, the concrete superstructure has reached the 28th floor, slightly under the half way mark. Curtain wall installation is following behind superstructure's progress, having reached the ninth floor. Completion of the tower is slated for late 2016.
