Design

Design

When Philip Johnson and John Burgee designed 550 Madison, they drew upon the fundamental principles of classical architecture to create a building that felt monumental, modern, and completely different from what had come before. The Olayan Group built on that foundation, reimagining the property for the way we live today: bringing in daylight and air, designing a world-class tenant amenity destination, and creating a new greenscape.

Clean Air

At 550 Madison, we know that the health of a building translates directly to the wellness of its occupants—which is why we’re proud to be both LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certified. Our commitment to a sustainable space is evident in abundant daylight, while a best-in-class filtration system offers clean, fresh air.

The Garden

Enlarged to almost twice its former size, The 550 Garden offers a welcoming place for gathering and refreshment. Visitors can enjoy a vibrant setting with lush trees, artisanal food kiosks, and a peaceful fountain.
