A ten-story building at 101 Murray Street gives the College of Insurance its first permanent home
The College of Insurance began in 1901 as the Insurance Society of New York and was nicknamed the school without a classroom, because it borrowed space around the city. Only its library, on William Street, had a fixed home. In 1984 a ten-story building went up at 101 Murray Street, on the lot where today's 111 Murray stands, and the college finally had a campus of its own.

On June 11, 2015, Fisher Brothers and the Witkoff Group presented the tower's final design to Community Board 1's Tribeca Committee.
