The New York Mercantile Exchange relocated from 4 World Trade Center to One North End Avenue in 1997,^[3] after the directors of the exchange had considered moving to New Jersey for several years.^[4] Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the building suffered minor damage.^[5] After 9/11, four American flags were affixed to the top corners of the building.

In 2013 Brookfield Properties purchased the building for US$200 million^[6] and merged it with the rest of the complex.^[7]
