[2][3] The project was developed by Edward J. Minskoff Equities, designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, and completed in 2008.

101 Warren Street was designed with a distinctive, elongated "checkerboard" facade.

It contains a Whole Foods Market and a Barnes & Noble store.

In 1942, the building was sold by a person or company identified as "Irving".
