Madison Square pairs a park setting with a central location. The buildings around it have character to match: historic lofts and boutique elevator buildings, many with layouts that follow the building rather than a standard office plan.
What it’s like
Office space around the park includes full-floor suites, creative loft-style offices, boutique elevator buildings and high-profile ground-floor retail. Because so much of it is in historic buildings, light, ceiling height, park views and floor efficiency vary widely from one address to the next. Move-in-ready offices with park frontage or a recent renovation are especially sought after.
Who it suits
Technology companies, creative agencies, venture-backed startups, professional services and design-focused firms. They come for the park, the central location and the brand the address carries.
137 East 25th Street
On East 25th Street, in the Midtown South, Kips Bay and Rose Hill corridor, 137 East 25th Street is a 10-story commercial office building from 1910. Its ground floor opens onto a pedestrian-friendly stretch of 25th Street with no through traffic, and a second entrance on 26th Street gives the building access from both blocks.
On each full floor
- About 8,300 rentable square feet
- Modern build-outs with exposed ceilings
- Wide-plank engineered wood flooring
- A wet pantry
- Natural light on all four sides
Light on four sides and a quiet block are exactly the kinds of details worth comparing when you tour the neighborhood: how much of the floor is usable, how much daylight reaches it, and what the street outside is like.
