The Fourth and Madison Building (formerly the IDX Tower) is a 40-story skyscraper in downtown Seattle, Washington.[2] The building is located at 925 Fourth Avenue, at the intersection with Madison Street. Upon its completion in 2002, the late-modernist highrise was Seattle's first building to exceed 500feet in over a decade.

In 2007, Fourth and Madison was awarded the BOMA International Office Building of the Year Award in the 500000- category.[3]

The rooftop garden on the seventh floor is a privately owned public open space (POPOS).[4]

Construction of the foundation required shoring around the Great Northern Tunnel and Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. The tower also cantilevers 12feet over the Downtown YMCA.[5]
