275 Madison Avenue

275 Madison Avenue is an Art Deco office tower in Midtown Manhattan featuring a white brick and granite exterior. The structure rises 43 stories with prominent vertical pilasters and dark spandrels that accent the window bays.

The structure was designed by architect Kenneth Franzheim and completed in 1931 during the Great Depression. It was developed by Texas businessman Jesse H. Jones through his company Houston Properties.

The building's address on Madison Avenue places it within one of New York's most prestigious commercial corridors. Its white brick exterior has become a recognizable feature of the streetscape that defines this part of Midtown.

The building sits near Grand Central Terminal with convenient access to multiple subway lines that serve the area. This location provides easy connection to restaurants, shops, and services throughout Midtown.

The tower contains numerous terraces of varying sizes scattered across different levels throughout the structure. These outdoor spaces provide workers with unexpected green areas and relief from the urban surroundings.
