VENUE - Skytop Studio

Skytop Studio | 488 Madison Ave, 2nd Floor, NYC

Skytop Studio is located in the famous Look Building at 488 Madison Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets.  This 23-story office building was designed in the International Style by Emery Roth & Sons. Originally named for its primary tenant, Look Magazine, directly across from St. Patrick's Cathedral, this landmark has undergone extensive renovations while retaining its original character. 

Last year, Skytop designed a state-of-the art hub, its home base along with a beautifully appointed open space, a glimmering reception area, a workshop room and a newsroom set up for its growing operations. Located one story above street level, it has floor to ceiling windows, soundproof glass and views of Madison Avenue's street life. 

Given the launching of SkytopTV, it serves as a multipurpose space while we finalize our plans to build out an additional 30,000 square feet, to support our growth in staffing and four additional state-of-the-art studios.  Once launched, this space will house some of our team, Skytop Studio, along with individual consultation rooms.

It's the perfect space for convening, networking and receptions.
