The Bellemont by Robert A.M. Stern Architect

The Bellemont

The Naftali Group real estate development announced that closings have commenced at The Bellemont at 1165 Madison Avenue. This highly anticipated luxury condominium brings a limited collection of 11 residences to the most desirable part of the Upper East Side.

Designed by award-winning architectural firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects with interiors by Achille Salvagni, the fully sold boutique condominium is nearly complete and is now open to residents. In November of 2021, the project made headlines for its record-breaking $67.8M sale of Penthouses C and D, the building’s crowning duplex penthouses comprising four full floors and over 13,000 square feet.

This combo unit deal is believed to be amongst the most expensive transactions ever recorded above 59th Street on the Upper East Side and broke the record for the highest PPSF in this part of the city, with a blended sellout of over $4,000 per square foot.

Located on the corner of Madison Avenue and 86th Street and just one block from Central Park, the 13-story, thed building creates a new architectural legacy on the Upper East Side. Reminiscent of the neighborhood’s distinct elegance, The Bellemont features a stately hand-laid Indiana limestone and iron-work façade and welcomes its residences through intricate metalwork doors.

Inside, it boasts a collection of 11 elegant homes ranging from half-floor, full-floor, duplex and penthouse residences. The Bellemont marks internationally acclaimed interior designer Achille Salvagni’s first full-building residential project inclusive of the residences and shared amenity spaces.

Having also designed the jewel box lobby and cinema at Naftali’s condominium on Madison Avenue, The Benson, Salvagni graced The Bellemont with exquisite details and contemporary conveniences throughout. The Bellemont features balanced interiors that play up the grand scale of residences and create special moments within each of the curated amenity spaces.

Complementing the building’s classical masonry façade, the residences’ grand proportions, soaring ceiling heights and views of Central Park through monumental windows, make these vast homes a notable addition to the city’s architectural history. Select residences feature private entry foyers, custom-designed limestone fireplaces and generous private outdoor spaces with custom-designed railings and detailing.

Residents of The Bellemont enjoy a generous array of amenities for wellness, leisure and entertainment. The offering includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private cinema with a wet bar, an inspired children’s playroom, a regulation squash court and a rooftop lounge with expansive Central Park views.

The exquisite lobby at The Bellemont, which features custom-designed terrazzo floors with white marble leaf inlays, a beautiful ceiling with integrated lighting and a custom chandelier along with bespoke furnishings by Salvagni, will be attended 24 hours with a doorman and concierge.

Situated in one of the most highly coveted and pristine enclaves of the Upper East Side, The Bellemont is surrounded by picturesque streets and beautiful townhouse blocks, with New York’s iconic Central Park just moments away.

Manhattan’s famed cultural institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim and The Frick Collection are also nearby, as well as Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping destinations.

The Bellemont also features prime retail space located on the ground floor of the luxury condominium with incredible ceiling heights.
