Construction has commenced the 1.4 million-square-foot development, One Madison Avenue, that will transform the existing full-block structure into a 27-floor, state-of-the-art office complex. The design and development team includes Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), developer SL Green, and other partners.
KPF's design for One Madison Avenue updates an existing, mid-century podium and adds an elegant new tower along with over an acre of outdoor space and multiple terraces. The glass-enclosed tower will create a dynamic office space across floor plates upwards of 35,000 square feet.
The 10th and 11th will feature 22' slab heights with expansive outdoor roof decks. By retaining 67 percent of the building's original structure, a notable amount of embodied energy will be reused. The redesign is projected to result in an energy reduction of over 60 percent against the AIA 2030 Commitment baseline, KPF reports.

Great use of land.
Dislike most KPF junk, but like this project. Wonder what 67% of the structure was reused--probably only major columns and beams. If you can reuse a building you should. Too bad it looks like they demo-ed the nice skybridge.... one of the best features.
