, on the west side of Broadway, north of Duffy Square
in Midtown Manhattan.
Even before 1585 Broadway
began to rise over Duffy Square
, its developer, David S. Solomon, had signed law firm Proskauer Rose
to a 20-year lease for 365,000 square feet (33,900 square meters). A notable achievement at any time, the deal was a milestone in a market where a growing number of new buildings were competing heavily for a shrinking number of tenants.
In December 1991, the original developer, 1585 Broadway Associates, controlled by Solomon, filed for bankruptcy
, leaving unfinished building construction, stalled leasing, and strained tenant relationships.
A consortium of banks then gained control of the asset through the bankruptcy process and hired Hines Interests Limited Partnership
to manage the property.
Morgan Stanley
bought the building for $176 million in August 1993 and moved in two years later.

The Texan turned out to be good-natured, generous and likeable. In three days no one could stand him.
"Open your eyes, Clevinger. It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead."
Clevinger was dead. That was the basic flaw in his philosophy.
"The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on."
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt, and his only mission each time he went up was to come down alive.
