Yamasaki described the plaza as "a mecca, a great relief from the narrow streets and sidewalks of the Wall Street area."

The design had to accommodate not only restrictions in height (single story), but it was surrounded by overlooking buildings on three sides, with more than 20 party wall agreements.
