It was built in 1986 in the postmodern style by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes.[1] It houses the headquarters for AXA Financial, which consists of a number of subsidiaries of French-based insurance and banking company AXA, such as AXA Equitable Life Insurance and Mutual of New York. Other cornerstone tenants include Keefe, Bruyette & Woods; BNP Paribas, New Mountain Capital, Sidley Austin LLP, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Citigroup.
The structure is mainly composed of steel.[2] The facade is of brown granite in a gridiron pattern with a white background. The tower rises through two setbacks on the north and south sides, indicated by recessed bays on the facade. The plain top has vertical striping, and the east and west sides end in arched windows. The Equitable boardroom is located at the ends. The building has 54 floors and 142,660m², with a majority of offices.

Between The Worlds
by: Seventh AvenueRays of light slowly pave the way
For the all swalloling darkness
Right beteween the universe
Where time was led astray
Where the forgotten thoughts dwell
Where ghosts of shadows roam
Maybe the dream of a dream
Now you think at the only one who could tell
So take a step beteween the worlds
With both feet on the ground
Time stands still as years pass by
Your silent screams will never die
Just believe in this one thing
When it is over it just will start
But you have to decide before
Impossible? Oh no, my friend
Due to the past eternity
God passes judgment on you
Dimly thoughts come cleare now
Who are you, who have you been
Now your mind is coming keen
And a scary certainy grows
I am dead
That can't be true
But life's not what it seems
I am mad
That is the truth
"You're not" my brain still screams
So take a step beteween the worlds
With both feet on the ground
Time stands still as years pass by
Your silent screams will never die
I am here beteween the worlds
My feet are off the ground
Time stands still as years pass by
Now my past has sealed my fate
Just believe in this one thing
When it is over it just will start
But you have to decide before
Impossible? Oh no, my friend
Due to the past eternity
God passes judgment on you
I believe in this one thing
When it is over it just will start
But I have to decide before
Impossible? Oh no, my friend
The saviour just has paid for me
