Construction began in 2012 and was completed in December 2015. According to the original design, the height was 396 meters. Construction was preceded by the demolition of the 495-room Drake Hotel, built in 1926. The hotel was purchased for $440 million by developer Harry Mucklow in 2006 and was subsequently demolished.

The author of the project, Uruguayan architect Rafael Violy, said this: Our goal was to create something that would be timeless, that would become an integral part of the Manhattan skyline, a new symbol of it. It turned out as planned - something timeless. There are very few such projects in the world today." The height of each floor is 3.84 meters. Condominium area from 32.6 m.
