343 Madison Avenue is a skyscraper under construction in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox for developer BXP, Inc.. The building will replace the former Metropolitan Transportation Authority headquarters across from Grand Central Terminal.[1] As of April 2026, excavation at the site was under way.[2] An entrance to the Grand Central Madison station, on part of the building's site, opened in May 2026.[3][4]

Norges Bank Investment Management was an investor in the project,[5] though they later exited the arrangement, returning their investment to BXP for $43.5 million.[6]
