The north side of the building faces the New York Academy of Art, a landmark building originally designed by Benjamin Warner in 1861. The formation of the academy lists pop artist Andy Warhol as one of its key founders and funders. After Warhol died in 1987, he left a bequest to the academy, allowing it to purchase its Franklin Street headquarters in Tribeca. The south side of the building, sitting on Leonard Street, named after one of Tribeca's prominent land owners of 18th century Anthony Lispenard's sons Leonard, faces the New York Law School's main campus. This modern, 235,000 square foot facility was designed by Smith Group and BKSK Architects and is the first large-scale building to be completed in downtown Manhattan after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
