Projects

Cetra-Ruddy is known for its design of One Madison, a 50-story "sliver building" condominium tower on East 23rd Street at Madison Avenue, south of Madison Square Park.[1] In 2014, the building received the Architizer A+ Jury Award for Residential High Rise,[2] and since 2013, it has been part of the "Sky High & the Logic of Luxury" exhibition at the Skyscraper Museum in New York City.

The firm is also responsible for the adaptive reuse into residences of the Walker Tower, a former telephone switch building in Chelsea, Manhattan, and for the new Lincoln Square Synagogue building, which received an Honorable Mention for Religious Institution for Interior Design magazine's Best of Year Awards.

Most recently, they were featured in the New York Times for their new-construction multi-family residential project ARO, rising in place of the late Roseland Ballroom. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/17/realestate/next-act-for-roseland-ballroom-site.html
