In 2007, Buttonwood purchased the development site, located on Madison Avenue, in Manhattan. Buttonwood created a world class marketing and design platform, implemented the full demolition of the existing structures,  full set of blueprints for a 26 story luxury condominium tower and two accessory loft buildings on the former site of Andy Warhol’s paint factory. The building was set to feature a lap pool, wet spa, world-class gym, plus much, much more. When approached by another developer investor to sell the site with plans, the opportunity was too good to turn down, thus the assemblage was sold.
