The Benson is an elegant boutique residence designed by the award-winning architect Peter Pennoyer as his tribute to the Upper East Side’s architectural legacy. The Benson is perfectly located at 79th Street and Madison Avenue, just one block from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Benson’s façade is comprised of hand-carved, hand-laid Indiana limestone, distinctive mullioned windows, and a series of gracious set-back terraces detailed with intricate ironwork to exemplify the building’s classic uptown character.
