The name of the building stems from the former development also known as London Terrace, which consisted of roughly 80 houses built in 1845 that resembled London flats. The location was selected by Mandel due to the short walk to midtown Manhattan offices, as a way to provide modern low-priced housing for "white collar" workers. Victor C. Farrar, architect of London Terrace, compared the project to Rockefeller Center, and stated that large scale projects conserve valuable space and rehabilitate the city with modern apartment buildings and stores
