Overview

Located on Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, this 23-story office tower at 488 Madison Avenue is an architectural landmark. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons in 1949, the building, historically known as 'The Look Building,' offers 447,000 square feet of space and a prestigious tenant roster. The building overlooks Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and is located blocks from Grand Central Terminal, in proximity to area businesses, restaurants, shopping, hotels and mass transit. It provides full floor identity, 24/7 access, and an attended marble lobby. The building has been home to publishing and communications firms including Esquire Magazine, Institutional Investor, Euromoney Publications and Abbeville Press. The building is comprised of glazed white brick and configured in round-edged layers. The building's white brick façade has been completely rejuvenated, and the windows have been upgraded. Interior renovations include a new lobby, updated elevators and a new retail façade. The building stands out as one of the most attractive post-war brick buildings in New York City, with ribbon windows and columns.
