The facade was designed by Nevio Maggiora, consisting of a boxlike "beehive" pattern with the windows recessed within, made of aluminum-clad wall elements resembling a type of thermally activated elevator button popular at the time of construction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/956992385|title=Europe meets America : William Lescaze, architect of modern housing|author=Gaia Caramellino|year=2016|publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing|accessdate=27 August 2018}}</ref>
===Construction and early years===
 
In 1959, the City of New York attempted to acquire the land under this development through [[eminent domain]] as part of the [[Battery Park]] [[Urban Renewal]] Area. The plan involved consolidating several blocks into a "[[City block|superblock]]" for [[public housing]]. When that plan fell through, the city hoped to entice the [[New York Stock Exchange]] to relocate to the property. However, the owner of the property—the firm of Atlas McGrath—successfully sued to retain their land, claiming they were more than willing to develop the site privately.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nyc-architecture.com/LM/LM024-ONENEWYORKPLAZA.htm |title=New York Architecture Images-ONE NEW YORK PLAZA |publisher=Nyc-architecture.com|access-date=February 25, 2014|archive-date=October 19, 2019|accessdatearchive-url=2014https://web.archive.org/web/20191019011327/http://www.nyc-02architecture.com/LM/LM024-25ONENEWYORKPLAZA.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
