Simon Kim, the restaurateur who founded the Michelin-starred COTE Korean Steakhouse, will be opening a new dining concept inside the landmark 550 Madison Avenue. The new “multi-faceted” concept will span 15,000 square feet across three floors at the tower’s base, boast soaring 60-foot ceilings, and provide direct access to the building’s new landscaped, half-acre public garden. Olayan Group is currently leading a renovation of 550 Madison Avenue, which was designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee in the 1980s as the world’s first postmodern skyscraper.
