The original architect of the project was Robert A. M. Stern before being replaced by Michael Graves. The building utilized air rights from two small adjoining buildings and a zoning bonus for providing a public plaza to maximize its floor area.
The building was topped-out in April 2002, and was opened in September 2003.
