One Madison Park is a luxury residential condominium tower at 22 East 23rd Street, at the foot of Madison Avenue, across from Madison Square Park. When completed, it will be almost as tall as or slightly taller than the Met Life Tower (604-617 feet, depending on the source, compared to 614 feet (187 m) for the Tower), and taller than the Flatiron Building.[1] The asking price for the triplex penthouse is $45 million.[2] As of April 2010, the building was still not complete, having run into financial difficulties. Sales of residential units had stopped, but the appointment of a receiver on April 15 allowed sales to start again. [3]
