Capital Improvement

In 2014, a $38M capital improvement campaign

In 2014, a $38M capital improvement campaign was initiated for Madison Square Portfolio to include: interior and exterior building renovations, converted heating systems, as well as modernized elevators and retail storefronts. The previously deteriorating buildings in Midtown South were transformed into high-end commercial real estate buildings that tailors to the TAMI sector (technology, advertising, media, and information).

Lobbies

Upon a complete renovation, the lobbies will feature innovative architectural concepts designed to inspire creative work environments. Using eco-friendly materials to reconstruct the space, the refined aesthetic will capture the antiquity of the neighborhood while integrating modern features. The signature look will appeal to creative office and retail tenants who gravitate towards the energetic ambiance of Midtown South. For security and convenience, all lobbies will be attended and have a tenant directory on display.

Retail Storefronts

The streetscape and appearance of Midtown South has changed dramatically over the years, as evidenced by the emergence of luxury residential buildings, hotels, and trendy eateries. This portfolio will continue the redevelopment while honoring the historical preservation of the neighborhood, with the storefronts and facades being restored to their original architecture. New thermal pane glass fronts and distinctive signage will echo the vibrant synergy between NoMad and Flatiron.

Elevators

Elevators were modernized with state-of-the-art mechanical equipment including GAL Galaxy controls and Hollister Whitney traction machines. Upgraded cabs now feature LED lighting, computerized dispatch controls, and IP cameras. Security access controls tie into individual Tenant systems to further ensure security and privacy.
