History

Exterior signage

The building was designed by John Graham, Sr. Construction began in February 1928 and the store opened in August 1929.[2] The building served as The Bon Marché's flagship store and was later operated by Macy's. Macy's sold the upper 6 levels of the flagship store in 2015 to Starwood Capital. That portion of the building was remodeled into a 475,000-square-foot (44,100 m^2) office complex for Amazon. Macy's remained on the lower two floors and in the basement.[3] On February 23, 2020, the Macy's closed the store and the building was sold to Starwood.[4]

In November 2022, Uniqlo opened a store on the ground floor.[5]
