Eight More Floors, New Address for 380 Madison Ave
L&L Holding Co. has unveiled plans for a reincarnation of 380 Madison Ave as a taller, sleeker building with a new address: 390 Madison Ave, the New York Post reports. L&L, commissioned to oversee and manage the redesign by building landlord Clarion Partners, worked with KPF Architects on the ambitious redesign. The building’s base will mostly remain, and its usable square footage of 900k SF won’t change. But here’s the crazy part: eight additional stories and 82 feet will be added to the building. There's more: whole floors and parts of others in the lower part of the building will be removed completely. By some estimates the whole thing could cost close to $1B, the Post reports.
