After the September 11 attacks, the building sustained major damage to its roof; however, the general damage to the building was less than that to the other three towers. On October 23, 2001, about two dozen senior executives of Merrill Lynch began returning to their offices on a limited number of floors within the building, making it the first tower in the four-tower complex to be reoccupied after the attacks.[1]
The structure was renamed 250 Vesey Street when the complex became Brookfield Place in 2014.[2]
250 Vesey Street houses the financial offices of Scotiabank and Jane Street Capital. Other tenants include the headquarters of the College Board. The building was previously entirely occupied by Merrill Lynch & Co.[3]
