The building was the home to Madoff Securities (Floors 17-19) for years. You can see more about Madoff's office in the thread here.

DEALBOOK

According to the court documents, the building’s owner, Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold, defaulted on a $210 million mortgage held by the Royal Bank of Canada. The company was not able to maintain a minimum balance of $2.3 million in the loan’s debt service fund, which triggered a default notice in April, according to court documents. After several notifications, the Royal Bank of Canada filed a lawsuit against the firm, calling for a sale of the well-known property to pay off the loan.

LIPSTICK BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY

I don't like it up close, but in the district with the Citigroup Center nearby, it looks quite unique.
