Madison Square Tower at 45 East 22nd Street. January 2017.
Madison Square Tower on 22nd Street by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) Architects, is a cut above most of the other recent additions to the City skyline. Here it peeks out from behind the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, a fine example of the classic crop of Manhattan skyscrapers. The third boxy residential tower on 23rd Street lacks any of the aspirational qualities of the others and looks particularly pedestrian in comparison.
