Henry N. Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners designed the tower. The infobox also credits Ellerbe Becket as architects. Maguire Properties developed it and Turner Construction was the contractor. Groundbreaking was on June 23, 1987, the tower topped out on April 18, 1989, and it was completed in October 1989, with the opening in 1990. The cost was 350 million dollars. The style is Postmodernism, with a glass crown that is lit at night.
The architectural height is 1,018 feet (310 m). The infobox gives 73 floors above ground, while another section says 72. It has 24 elevators and 1,432,540 square feet (133,087 m²) of floor area.
OUE Skyspace opened on June 24, 2016, on the 69th and 70th floors, with a glass Skyslide between them. It closed in March 2020, and the closure was made permanent on October 26, 2020. Silverstein Properties bought the tower in 2020.
