History of 280 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NYC
280 Madison Avenue, located in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, is a distinguished office building constructed in 1930. This 14-story building encompasses approximately 74,186 square feet of commercial space. It was designed as an office building with commercial use, reflecting early 20th-century architectural styles.
The building features uninterrupted brick piers above a two-story base, with a façade characterized by beige-colored brick piers accented with orange brick stripes near the edges. The windows are double-height with grey metal mullions and spandrel panels, contributing to its classic yet functional aesthetic. The structure includes a setback starting at the 12th floor, with the 13th floor set back from the street line, a common feature in buildings from that era to allow for light and air.
Originally completed in 1930, 280 Madison Avenue has undergone renovations, including a notable alteration in 1988 to modernize and maintain its utility as a commercial office space. Its location near major transit hubs such as the Madison Avenue & 42nd Street subway station has contributed to its sustained appeal for office tenants in Midtown South.
Historically, the building has been part of the vibrant urban fabric of Midtown Manhattan, with a rich context that includes proximity to significant landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal and the MetLife Building. Its enduring presence over nearly a century underscores its architectural resilience and continued use as a commercial office building in New York City.

Sapphire Office Solutions Testimonial
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation to acknowledge the outstanding job performed by Mr. Stephen Sunderland of Optimal Spaces, Incorporated, in regards to locating and executing a great sublease and direct lease extension.
In addition to finding the sublease, Stephen also add a long term extension to our direct lease at a great price. We never would have completed this transaction without Stephen's persistency, expertise, and diligence.
We attempted to work with other brokers prior to meeting Stephen (discovered Stephen from advertisement) and he was the only broker who listened to our needs and took us to spaces that fit all OUR requirements, not his.
We would highly recommend Mr. Sunderland and his company without hesitation.
Sincerely,
Paul Holstein
President
