The Flatiron District extends from 14th Street to 23rd Street between Park Avenue and Sixth Avenue. The district's namesake is the famous triangular-shaped, 20-story Flatiron Building designed by architect Daniel Burnham, which is distinguished as the world's first steel-frame skyscraper and was the city's tallest building at the time of its construction in 1902. It sits just across from Madison Square Park, at the beginning of Madison Avenue. Flatiron District real estate offers a variety of beautiful architecture including vast, airy lofts. The area is home to trendy shopping and stylish restaurants.
