The tower is tiered on three sides, forming the classic wedding-cake style outline emblematic of post-1916 Zoning Resolution New York skyscrapers. The setbacks recede in shallow formations from a large 16-story platform. Red-granite panels frame wide-paned commercial windows at street level as part of the five-story limestone base.

The building has 615,000 square feet (57,100 m2) of space and occupies a 23,000-square-foot (2,100 m2) lot.
