Renovation and recladding is quickly progressing at 383 Madison Avenue, a 47-story office skyscraper in Midtown East, Manhattan. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill along with Foster + Partners and Gensler, the original curtain wall for the 755-foot-tall structure’s façade is being replaced, while the 1.2 million square feet of office space is being revamped to serve the banking investment division of JPMorgan Chase. Formerly known as the Bear Stearns Building, the tower was originally designed by David Childs of SOM and completed in 2001. The property is bounded by Madison and Vanderbilt Avenues and East 46th and East 47th Streets, and stands directly south of the financial institution’s recently completed headquarters at 270 Park Avenue.
