The building was developed by The Related Companies and designed by architect Charles Gwathmey. The building was panned by architectural critics as a symbol of gentrification, and sales of the building's condos were slow.[2][3][4] History and developmentThe triangular site on which the tower was built was formerly a parking lot.[5] Originally, a building developed by both Ian Schrager and Related, to be designed by either Rem Koolhaas or Frank Gehry, was planned for the location.[6] Cooper Union, the owner of the parking lot, leased the land to the developers for 99 years. The original plan called for a hotel with approximately 100 rooms, and the terms of the lease from Cooper Union stipulated that the building be an "original artistic invention". The hotel was also to include a movie theater; completion of the building was expected in 2002. Ultimately, the hotel was not built, and instead, a luxury residential building designed by Gwathmey was constructed. There is a retail base which includes a Chase bank branch.
