New renderings have been revealed for the residential conversion of the Emmet Building, a 16-story Gothic Revival office tower at 95 Madison Avenue in NoMad, Manhattan. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by Sunlight Development, the project will convert the building’s 150,000 square feet into 65 condominium units in one- to five-bedrooms layouts, including the exclusive Emmet Penthouse. Work will also include the restoration of the 114-year-old structure’s ornamental limestone façade. The property is located at the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and East 29th Street.
The above aerial rendering looks south down Madison Avenue at the upper half of the building, previewing the nighttime illumination of the ornate crown. The below image showcases the restored exterior of the northwest corner.

The following elevation diagrams further depict the exterior modifications, which have already been approved at Community Board and Landmarks Preservation Committee hearings. New windows will be added above two sets of doorways on the ground level to create a more cohesive appearance with the commercial frontage. A bulkhead will also be constructed above the roof.

Amenities will include a fitness center, sauna, children’s playroom, game room, virtual golf simulator, and a pet spa, among additional offerings to be disclosed later.
The closest subways from the redevelopment are the 6 train at the 28th Street station along Park Avenue South, and the R and W trains at the 28th Street station to the west along Broadway.
An anticipated completion date has yet to be announced.

The original lobby had Sienna marble and a mosaic floor. This might have fallen victim to “modernization” in the 1950s.
Stunning. Glad to see the netting on this facade finally down
Beautiful building and conversion, but once again it seems clear that for any meaningful and accessible increase in housing numbers, the future is with the outer boroughs..
As well as it should be based on economics
It is nice to see them add what appears to be an additional floor to the top, but it would be better if they pushed the envelope further and went even bigger with another 3-4 floors.
It’s amazing that such expensive apartments are largely made of cheap drywall and nothing else besides an expensive-ish wood floor.
Another spectacular historic building with a drop-dead gorgeous exterior – with interiors that look like every generic new-build condo.
Exactly this. NQS Creative is not very creative at all…these interiors are dreary.
I wonder what happened to the original penthouse apartment? Prolly long gone :-/
ps why are these developers always depicting their buildings at dusk?
