The tower beside St. Francis of Assisi Friary uses its air rights and shares a base with a cancer lodge
The tower rises mid-block between Sixth and Seventh Avenues beside the St. Francis of Assisi Friary and uses the friary's air rights. About 460 apartments sit above a base that holds more room for the friars, the American Cancer Society's offices and its Hope Lodge. A four-story glass curtain wall on 32nd Street gives the Society its own identity, and a colonnaded rooftop terrace frames views for residents. The project was designed to reach LEED Silver.

It was then the biggest gift from a non-corporate donor that the Society had received. The lodge has 60 guest rooms and offers free lodging to cancer patients in treatment and their caregivers; the foundation reports it has hosted more than 16,000 guests.
