95 Madison Residences: What the Offering Plan Says About Finishes, Amenities and Costs

Updated Oct 12, 2026 · 7 min read

95 Madison Residences turns the landmarked Emmet Building in NoMad into 65 condos above two commercial units, adding two new floors on top. Its offering plan specifies Gaggenau kitchens, Waterworks baths and a long amenity list, and budgets a 24/7 non-union concierge staff that makes up over 40% of first-year costs.

In brief: 95 Madison Residences is a 65-apartment condo at 95 Madison Avenue in NoMad, created by converting the Emmet Building, a designated New York City landmark, from offices to homes and adding two new floors on top. Sponsor offering prices in the plan run from about $1.1 million for a roughly 740-square-foot home to about $22 million for a penthouse of more than 8,000 square feet. What sets it apart, per the offering plan: landmark-approved windows and facade work, a deep amenity list spread over the cellar, third floor and a 17th-floor terrace, and a 24/7 concierge staff that is the biggest line in the budget.

What's Specific to It

• It's a landmark conversion. The Emmet Building was designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2018, and the commission approved the restoration, the new windows and the storefront plan in 2024. Future exterior work needs LPC sign-off.
• New windows built to look old. On floors 3 to 16, the historic double-hung windows were replaced with thermally broken aluminum casements by Skyline Windows, designed to look like double-hungs.
• No 421-a, so full residential taxes. A tax consultant's opinion in the plan says the residential units aren't eligible for 421-a. The sponsor applied for ICAP, a commercial abatement program, but the residential tax estimates assume no abatement.
• Lot line windows with a catch. Some apartments on the east and south sides have lot line windows. If a neighbor ever builds against them, owners would have to fill them in with fire-rated construction.
• A non-union staff. The budget lists a resident manager, a handyman, three concierges for 24/7 coverage and two and a half porters, paid on a non-union scale.
• Two commercial owners share the costs. Two non-residential units carry about 7% of the common interest under a special allocation, and pay only the expenses fairly attributable to them.

If you're looking at 95 Madison Residences, the listing will show you the photos and the floor plan. The offering plan the sponsor filed with the New York Attorney General tells you what's actually behind the walls, who works in the lobby and what it all costs to run. Here's what it says.

The plan lists specific brands, always "or equivalent," and the sponsor keeps the right to substitute as long as replacements are equal or better. For context, see how these compare in our finishes guide.

Kitchens

• A full Gaggenau package: a 200 series gas cooktop (30 or 36 inches), a 400 series wall oven or double wall oven, a panel-ready refrigerator, a fully integrated dishwasher, and in some layouts a freezer column and a 400 series wine cabinet

More on these brands in our bathroom brands guide.

Floors, windows and laundry

• White oak floors, solid or engineered, laid straight or in herringbone over an acoustic mat
• Skyline aluminum casement windows with a five-year manufacturer warranty
• A stacked Bosch electric washer and ventless dryer in every apartment; there's no common laundry room

Heating and cooling

Each apartment gets a Mitsubishi variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump system with ducted, concealed fan coils, so you can heat or cool room by room. From the 6th floor up, each home has its own dedicated compressor, which is a limited common element tied to that unit. Lower floors share central compressors. Fresh air comes from two rooftop units with energy recovery. Domestic hot water comes from gas-fired water heaters on the roof.

Good to know: The building's gas bill, which covers hot water and gas cooking, is a common expense paid through your common charges. Your apartment's electricity is metered separately and billed to you.

Amenities

For a 65-unit building, the list is long. Here's what the plan describes, with approximate sizes:

Good to know: The 17th-floor terrace has a listed maximum occupancy of 6, and the plan says the sponsor won't furnish the rooftop terrace. The gym is fitted with a treadmill or elliptical and a multi-function weight station, so it's a compact room, not a club. There's no pool and no garage.

The declaration's list of residential common areas also mentions a catering room and terraces on the 3rd floor and roof. The detailed amenity table doesn't size those, so ask the sales team what will actually be delivered. See how this lineup compares in our amenities by building size guide.

Staffing and Services

• Concierge: three full-time concierges for 24/7 coverage
• Resident manager: one full-time, living in the building in Unit 9A rent-free; residential owners cover that unit's costs, budgeted at about $38,000 a year
• Handyman: one full-time
• Porters: two and a half full-time equivalents

The staff is non-union, paid on what the plan calls a Class A wage scale. Payroll, benefits and taxes come to about $700,000, roughly 43% of the first-year budget. Read more on what lobby staff costs in our doorman cost guide.

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor's first-year budget (July 2026 to June 2027) projects about $1.6 million in total expenses. Residential owners cover about $1.54 million of that through common charges, which works out to an average of roughly $2,000 a month per apartment. Your actual charge depends on your unit's share.

The biggest lines, rounded:

• Payroll and benefits: about $700,000
• Insurance: about $180,000
• Replacement reserve: about $146,000, paid entirely by residential owners
• Management fee: about $125,000
• Service contracts (elevator, fire alarm, cleaning and similar): about $98,000
• Water and sewer: about $81,000

Tip: At closing, you'll also pay two months of common charges as working capital for the condo board. Real estate taxes are separate. The plan estimates the residential share at about $2.25 million a year once the building is complete, with no 421-a abatement. For benchmarks, see our operating expenses data and why operating costs differ.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

• Substitutions: Every finish and appliance is listed "or equivalent," and the sponsor can swap in alternatives that are equal or better.
• Landmark rules: Because the building is an individual landmark, exterior changes need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval.
• Lot line windows: These are on the east side on floors 7 to 16 and the south side on floors 14 to 16. The plan calls blocking unlikely because of the landmark status and neighbors' deeded air rights, but if it happens, owners pay to fill the openings in.
• Your own compressor: From the 6th floor up, the AC compressor serving your home is a limited common element tied to your unit.
• Reserves: The plan doesn't guarantee that the reserve will be adequate for the first five years.
• Closing delays: If the first closing doesn't happen within 12 months of the anticipated date, purchasers get a right to rescind.

Common Questions

Is 95 Madison Residences new construction?

It's a conversion. The plan describes turning the landmarked Emmet Building from offices into homes, with new building systems, a new elevator and stair core, restored facades and two new floors (the 17th and 18th) added on top.

Does the building have a doorman?

Yes, in effect. The budget pays for three full-time concierges to cover the lobby 24/7, plus a live-in resident manager, a handyman and porters, all non-union.

Is there a property tax abatement?

Not for the apartments. A tax consultant's opinion in the plan says the condo isn't eligible for 421-a, so the residential tax estimates assume full taxes. The sponsor applied for ICAP, a program that abates taxes on commercial space.

Is there parking or a pool?

No. The plan lists both a garage and a swimming pool as not applicable. There's a bike room in the cellar.
