The Epic

The Epic is a residential building that rises 58 floors with floor-to-ceiling windows offering open views of Manhattan's skyline and the Hudson River. It contains around 460 homes and includes amenities such as a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center with a basketball court, and parking spaces.

Construction began in 2005 under Gotham Construction Company LLC and was completed in 2007 by architects from Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron and Fox & Fowle. It represents the early 2000s building boom in Manhattan's residential development.

The building houses both the American Cancer Society and a Franciscan Friary of the Holy Name, integrating medical support and religious organizations into its structure.

Visitors can approach the building through its main entrance on Madison Avenue, where staff can direct you to public areas. The location offers convenient access by transit and is within walking distance of shops and restaurants in the NoMad neighborhood.

The building holds LEED Gold certification and operates with energy-efficient systems that significantly reduce its power consumption. This sustainability focus is notable for a large residential tower in such a densely built urban area.
