Located in the heart of Manhattan at the top of the new skyscraper One Seventy Two Madison, Le Penthouse is a 19,815-square-foot apartment boasting outdoor terraces on each of its five floors.

Featuring 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and 4,500-square-feet of outdoor space, the over-the-top penthouse sits atop a new luxury high-rise located at 172 Madison Avenue, also not far from Madison Square Park and the Flatiron District. Designed by the firm Fischer + Makooi Architects with interior design work by Shamir Shah Design, the 33-story skyscraper houses around 70 total apartments, including ‘Le Penthouse.’
Wall-length windows and 18-to-32-foot-high ceilings effortlessly capture views of the city’s skyline, while also ushering in an abundance of natural light.

Principal Karl Fisher describes his design intention on the project’s webpage: “My inspiration for this building was the glamour, not to mention the understated elegance of the mansions that lined Madison Avenue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.” The final design favors natural light from a curtain wall of glass along the facade, ensuring that each apartment comes with its own corner views. Glamor and views are no doubt in short order within the five-story residence featured here.
The penthouse’s expansive living spaces and open layout create an exceptional setting for entertaining.
