One Madison Avenue will combine the elegance of the existing 900,000 square foot limestone building with more than 500,000 square feet of new, virtually column free construction in a new tower above. Health and wellness is paramount to the building design with the inclusion of DOAS HVAC, which circulates 100% fresh outside air, and new, oversized floor to ceiling windows in the podium combined with a continuous curtain wall in the tower that will flood the floors with natural daylight. Large roof terraces will provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to create indoor/outdoor, work and entertainment spaces. In addition to Chelsea Piers Fitness, amenities include a 13,000 square foot full-service restaurant, 10,000 square foot artisanal food market, 7,000 square foot tenant-only club style lounge and 5,000 square foot shared tenant roof deck.
