THE WALES

Adellco, the full-service real estate owner, developer, and manager, announced the completion of construction at The Wales, including a gorgeous new construction Penthouse atop the historic structure. Formerly known as the Hotel Wales, the neo-Renaissance condominium building is located at 1295 Madison Avenue steps from Central Park in the heart of the Upper East Side’s coveted Carnegie Hill Historic District. The Wales dates back to the turn of the century with exquisite interiors by globally acclaimed design studio PINTO.

THE RESIDENCE
The crown jewel of the development is an extraordinary five-bedroom. The full-floor Penthouse spans 4,179 square feet with five bedrooms, five full baths, and two powder rooms. Breathtaking vistas are enjoyed from oversized windows framing open views to the south and Central Park to the west. The expansive interiors are complemented by 3,114 square feet of private outdoor space across two levels. The exceptional home includes a private elevator, a gracious wraparound terrace, an outdoor kitchen completes with a wet bar, a fireplace, and a butler’s pantry.

“We are proud to announce the completion of the meticulous restoration of The Wales,” said Matthew Adell, Founder of Adellco. “Move-ins are well underway, and we’ve delivered to the building within an impressive timeline. The result is the perfect marriage of an old-world aesthetic and new, modern interiors including the newly constructed Penthouse. Calling The Wales home means you have the best of everything in the most elegant setting and location.”

According to Pietro Scaglione, Designer & Art Director of PINTO, “We appreciated Adellco’s vision for the building which complemented our firm’s specialty: classic architecture and design with a contemporary twist by way of color, textures, sculptures, and art. We paid homage to the rich history of the property from the glamorous lobby to the extraordinary Penthouse.”
