Giorgio Armani Residences Continues Construction At 760 Madison Avenue On Manhattan⁘s Upper East Side - New York...

Exterior work is now complete on the reconstructed 21 East 65th Street, a five-story building located directly west of the property that was damaged during the demolition of the previous occupant of 760 Madison Avenue. The structure was torn down due to cracks sustained to the front walls, but has since been rebuilt to its original design.

The façade of the building is composed of reddish brown brick and is capped with an intricate cornice with a diamond motif between a pair of stone lintels.

The interiors of the building are being fitted with high-end finishes, including Gagganeau appliances, Gascogne Beige honed limestone floors, Bardiglio Imperiale Blue marble kitchen islands, and Rose Aurora marble in the primary bathrooms.

Primary bedrooms will feature walk-in closets or full-sized dressing rooms, and each unit will be equipped with a liner-diffused HVAC system, LG washers and dryers... and a keypad home automation system.
