One Madison Lost Tom, Gisele, and Rupert, But It Has Croquet

Curbed // Apr 24, 2015

The dark, modern tower at the southeast corner of Madison Square Park is shedding celebrities like a molting bird: Rupert Murdoch wants $72 million for his triplex penthouse (which he hasn’t even lived in); meanwhile, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen rented their place for $40,000-ish/month. But lest anyone think One Madison has lost its luster, enter unit 8A, which hit the market today asking $10.95 million. The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath has a massive L-shaped terrace that overlooks the park and has views up to the Empire State Building, with room for a proper lawn (staged with croquet equipment) as well as a big outdoor dining table and grill. All lit, at night, by candle- and lantern-light, of course. The space could also be used, as per the brokerbabble, for “badminton, a yoga/meditation platform overlooking the city or even a putting green!!” The owner, shielded behind an LLC, closed on the apartment for $8.25 million in August of 2014, so the turnaround here is pretty quick. Was there time for a renovation?
