Construction
Architecture
Madison Square Park Tower was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and Goldstein, Hill & West Architects. Martin Brudnizki Design Studio is responsible for designing the interiors.[5] There are 83 condominiums in the building.[6]
The base is built from granite in order to resemble other buildings in the Flatiron District. Above the base stands a cantilevered tower that becomes progressively wider as the tower becomes taller.[7] DeSimone Consulting Engineers is the structural engineering firm for the project. The structural system of the building comprises cast-in-place concrete slabs and columns with lateral load resisting shear wall cores. At the roof, there is a 1.2 million pounds (540 thousand kilograms) tuned mass damper which uses viscous liquid and steel plates to dampen the movement of the building during windy conditions for the comfort of occupants.[8]
