The structure contains 33 floors, made up originally of office space (but now consists of a hotel and apartments), standing as the 29th-tallest building in the city.

[2] Terraces and gardens were located on the roof of the 3-story base, and the top floor of the building contained the private Lancers Club.

The building's facade was covered with 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2) of dark glass with strips of aluminum molding and contained the world's largest electronic signboard.

During construction, a section of masonry broke loose and tons of bricks crashed through the roof of a neighboring building.

In 2010, work by a San Antonio-based developer began to renovate the building—which was to be renamed The Grand Ricchi—for residential and office condo use.
