It is part of the Biscayne Wall, which is a series of buildings and parks stretching along the Biscayne Bay.
The tower is 357 feet (109 m) tall and contains upscale commercial space at street level, including a TD Ameritrade office. Floors two to four of the building house a telecom data center, and the remaining twenty-five contain office space. Formerly, the upper nine floors contained luxury apartments.
When completed in 1965, the building was acclaimed by its architect as "a very modern but conservative design which will wear exceptionally well throughout the years."[1] It was developed by Jose Ferré, the father of former city mayor, Maurice Ferre. It is owned and managed by 100 NWT, L. L. C., an affiliate of Panther Real Estate Partners, L. L. C..[2]
