YIMBY has exclusive new renderings of 1122 Madison Avenue, an 18-story residential building under construction on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Studio Sofield and developed by Legion Investment Group and Nahla Capital, the 210-foot-tall structure will span 86,000 square feet and yield 26 condominium units with an average scope of 3,500 square feet. Hill West Architects is the architect of record for the property, which is alternately addressed as 22 East 84th Street and located at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 84th Street.
The above rendering looks west toward Central Park from one of the upper units, showcasing its private terrace and vistas of the park, the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the surrounding neighborhood.
The below image previews the ground floor and the double-height entrance along East 84th Street. The exterior will be composed of Indiana limestone paneling with sculpted reliefs, signature rope-trimmed window surrounds, and custom decorative metal railings on some of the windows starting on the second floor.

No renderings have been revealed of the entire building apart from the below diagram from the construction board. This axonometric drawing shows the structure rising uniformly up to the 11th story with a cutout in the main eastern elevation. A series of setbacks follow, culminating in a tiered crown and bulkhead.

Legion Investment Group and Nahla Capital secured the final parcel in the five-plot assemblage in early 2024 for $22 million, bringing their investment to $95 million since acquisition began in 2019. The purchases include 20,000 square feet of air rights from the abutting 20 East 84th Street, which will give residents protected views of Central Park from the upper levels.
Ancora served as the demolition engineer of record as well as the geotech and support of excavation (SOE) engineer of record. WSP is structural engineer of record for the project.
Homes are expected to start at $10 million with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group and The Cathy Franklin Team at The Corcoran Group leading sales and marketing. The nearest subways from the ground-up development are the 4, 5, and 6 trains at the 86th Street station to the east along Lexington Avenue.
1122 Madison Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for December 31, 2026, as noted on site.
