Madison Plaza

After planning the Three First National Plaza, the same architects designed another building with the same 'sawtooth edge,' giving the southeast face six corners. As a result, the Madison Plaza has nine corner offices on most of its 45 floors. The 599-foot (182 m) structure was originally meant to be one of two, but the second tower was never built.
Madison Plaza is the home of 'Dawn Shadows,' a black metal sculpture created by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson.
