The renovation project in Manhattan was honored for its engineering excellence with the Platinum Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York.
390 Madison Avenue is a modern office transformation in Midtown, that surgically remakes an outmoded building to create double-height interior spaces, a column-free perimeter, and an exterior terrace overlooking three different streets. A new lateral system reinforces the building’s structure and adds an architectural character to the dramatic update. The transformation earned LEED Gold certification through updating the building’s mechanical, plumbing, and electrical equipment.
