Is The Madison a Good Condo Building in Uptown Charlotte?
The Madison is one of Uptown Charlotte's most distinctive boutique condo buildings, known for its low-density design, all-corner residences, large private terraces, and genuinely residential feel.
Located at 520 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd in Second Ward, The Madison offers only 26 total residences with four homes per typical floor. Every unit is a corner residence, every home includes meaningful outdoor terrace space, and the building has no one-bedroom units — a major reason it appeals to buyers who want to live in Uptown without sacrificing scale, privacy, or livability.
Scott Russo has direct transaction history inside The Madison, including Units 703, 1001, 1002, 1004, and Penthouse 1204 — bringing stack-level, terrace-level, and floor-level pricing insight to buyers and sellers evaluating this building.

Expert Insight
The Madison is the kind of building buyers often do not fully understand until they walk it. Four homes per floor, all corner residences, real terraces, two parking spaces, and no one-bedroom units create a buyer profile that is very different from most Uptown towers. In a 26-residence building, pricing depends heavily on floor level, terrace usability, ceiling height, renovation depth, and stack position — details that generic condo data rarely captures.

The Madison FAQ
Low density, only four homes per typical floor, every unit a corner residence, and large private terraces in every home. No one-bedroom units — The Madison is built for buyers who want to actually live in Uptown, with the space and outdoor living that high-density towers can't offer. Ceiling heights up to 20 feet in select homes and GE Monogram appliances reinforce the premium ownership experience.
No — floor plans at The Madison are primarily 2–4 bedrooms. This shapes the buyer profile toward owners who plan to stay long-term and contributes to The Madison's genuinely residential character.
The four penthouse homes are Units 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1204 on the 12th floor. There is also a Junior Penthouse tier on the 11th floor. In a building with only 26 total residences, penthouse availability is extremely rare — contact Scott for current status and off-market opportunities.
Typical pricing ranges from roughly $800,000 to $1.5M+, depending on terrace size, floor level, renovation depth, corner exposure, and ceiling height. Because inventory is so limited and true comps are rare, building-specific guidance is essential.
Every residence includes two deeded parking spaces in the controlled-access garage — a meaningful differentiator versus buildings where parking is limited or sold separately. Confirm specific space assignment for any unit you are considering.
