History
Schnitzer West bought the existing property at the site and hoped to begin construction of a skyscraper as early as 2008. In the meantime, however, the late-2000s recession struck the economy and consequently the fate of many commercial real estate projects came under doubt, including 505 Madison. Further development of the project hinged on securing a sufficient number of preleases by 2009, which did not occur.
In 2012, the project was revived and the developer began seeking permits to start construction. Demolition of the pre-existing buildings on the site began in early September 2014.
In February 2016, Touchstone Corporation announced that it would enter a joint venture with Schnitzer West to develop Madison Centre, contributing $150 million in equity and a construction loan. Construction on the tower topped out in October 2016, and the tower opened for occupancy in October 2017.
