590 Madison Avenue, Skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States

The 41-story tower at 590 Madison Avenue features a gray-green glass exterior and polished granite facade, forming a pentagonal shape with a diagonal chamfer.

International Business Machines Corporation constructed this building between 1978 and 1983 at a cost of 250 million dollars to consolidate their Manhattan operations.

The building's atrium houses North Carolina bamboo trees across 10,000 square feet of space, connecting pedestrian traffic between neighboring structures.

The structure contains 24 elevators, a 78-car parking facility, and stands near multiple subway lines including 4, 5, 6, E, F, M, N, Q, and R trains.

Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass sculpture at the southeast corner displays an 11-ton boulder suspended above flowing water, creating an optical effect.
