Whitebox Advisors, a multi-strategy alternative asset investment management firm, has signed a four-year lease for 3,956 s/f on the 34th floor.

This building’s restoration of its renovated entrance and lobby in 2009 kept its architectural elements intact yet modernized for today’s tenants.

Located just south of Central Park, 515 Madison provides access to a multitude of dining options and well-known landmarks like the New York City Center for Performing Arts, Carnegie Hall and Rockefeller Center, which are all a walk away.
