The building's site was originally home to a 5-story structure known as the Siebrecht Building which was home to Pierre Abraham Lorillard.[4] Construction started in late 1999.[5] The original architect of the project was Robert A. M. Stern, who was replaced by Michael Graves in 2001.[6] The building topped-out in April 2002, and was opened that September.
