41 Madison Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space in the NoMad / Flatiron area, providing an outdoor plaza on Madison Avenue near Madison Square Park.
The building at 41 Madison Avenue houses the New York Design Center, a major interior design showroom complex that serves architects, designers, and homeowners. The design center reflects the area's creative and commercial character.
Madison Square Park, directly to the north, has been transformed from a neglected green space into one of Manhattan's most programmatically active small parks. The park's seasonal art installations commission major artists to create temporary works that transform the park's landscape.
The Flatiron Building, three blocks south at the intersection of Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 23rd Street, is one of the most iconic buildings in the world. The wedge-shaped skyscraper, completed in 1902, gave the surrounding neighborhood its name.
This plaza provides public outdoor space on Madison Avenue near two of Manhattan's most celebrated landmarks: the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park.
