225 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York, NY 10010. The Grand Madison occupies the former Brunswick Building on the north side of Madison Square Park. Francis H. Kimball and Harry E. Donnell designed it for shops, lofts and offices. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission dates construction to 1906–07 and records it within the Madison Square North Historic District.

For a wide view, start inside Madison Square Park near East 26th Street. From there, compare the lower limestone floors with the brick and terra-cotta above. Walk north along the Fifth Avenue sidewalk to East 27th Street to see how the building occupies the full block front. It replaced the Brunswick Hotel and neighboring brownstones. The building now houses residences, and general interior access is unconfirmed.
