does anyone know if people have moved into this building yet? also is this residential building boom in the park area for real? or just another marketing ploy by developers?

yes people have moved into the Grand Madison. As for your other questions, I don't know how to answer that, I think the area is great (in contract at a building close by), and a good bet to thrive, but thats just my opinion.
Its a prewar condo conversion, they started converting in 2006 and finished last year. Great location right on the park. The interior finishes in the apts seem pretty high end from what I can tell - poggenpohl, viking, marble baths etc. But I think the real attraction here is the location/convenience - close to subways, Chelsea, Flatiron, Gramercy etc. Don't know what the apartments go for though.
Right now, I'd describe the interiors as very Austin Powers. But with some updating, it's got great bang for the buck. best terrace and view in the building. Owner is negotiable!
I'm thinking about putting in a bid here. Do people think prices go lower in this area? Also, i remember seeing something about a short sale here. My wife's friend lives in the building facing the park and it is beautiful
we were interested in an apt that faced west. but we walked by at night. that 230 fifth nightclub is really crowded and really loud on the weekends. how do people deal with the noise right across the street like that?
woah penthouse s pricing - crazy - trying to double in a year - wow

Thanks jasonkyle.. Three things I am dealing with (1) 230 Fifth - the line goes down the entire block on weekend nights and lots of cars and honking - I saw that last year.. (2) I know in the past there has been a lot of homeless that congregate on the north side of the park on 26th st. I had heard that a lot of them were relocated and it was getting better near the end of the summer... but with the general market getting worse = less cops, more unemployed, I get concerned. (3) broadway between 24th and 32nd is the wholesale clothing district and a LOT of low end clothing stores, wig stores, and fake jewlery stores. Another area that seems questionable at night.
That said, the building itself is beautiful and the apartments seem spacious and nice. Doorman seem professional when I met them and lobby is nice.. BTW, anyone know if this place has a roofdeck?
By the way, I've also looked at 15 Madison Square North, but seems like there were some very vocal disgruntled people when they moved in. I would say most likely growing pains from a new development, but prices seem much higher.
no roof deck. i think it's all private for the penthouse owners. i agree, i think it is an amazingly beautiful building exterior wise. homeless people on that side of the park don't bother me so much but the wholesale district is definitely sketchy at night.
beginning my new apt search process. any views from current owners on what they think of the apts? looks like the area has gotten much better with less homeless. looks like prices have come down a bit but any thoughts? also that retail space next to the front door has been empty for a while - any views on what that could be?
I'm a fan of the area in general... but the north end of madison square park - just outside the park fence - is like a homeless / pot dealer hangout now. We're talking across the street from the entrance.
At night, the area overall is relatively deserted.
Any views on this building and the area?
chk this one out.

Have the duplex PH units hit the market yet? I can't find any info - anybody know the approximate prices?
any views on this building? was walking by the other day and was struck by how beautiful it was.

I love this building. I have friends who live there and are very happy
