Underneath the suggested location of the 1 New York Place another project was proposed.[1] According to Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and The New York Times, the project would be the building of an underground transit hub proposed by Metropolitan Transportation Authority with a projected building cost of $2 billion.[1] The Metropolitan Transportation Authority would have been a partner with their proposed transit hub at the location.[1]
Trevor Davis is a project developer from South Africa who was very optimistic throughout the beginning phases of the proposed 90 story sky scraper, despite the tension in New York only a year after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.[1]
Abby Rosen and Michael Fuchs are investing partners and co-founders of RFR Holding.[3] Before the cancellation of the project the two investors were set to be partnered up with Trevor Davis in the build of 1 New York Place.
The tower was designed by Kohn Pederson Fox and projected to cost $680 million.[1] It would have 1.3 million square feet (121,000 square meters) of floor space, allocating 679,000 square feet of floor space to be occupied by business owners and small companies.[1] The Building would also offer 68 floors of apartment space for residents looking to live in the Financial District of Manhattan.[1]
