The developer received funding from the [[New York (state)|State of New York]], which was somewhat controversial as the developer was only required to agree to set aside 10% of the units as "affordable housing" or "moderate income", rather than the usual 80:20 agreement. When the building opened, rents ranged from roughly $2,500 to $9,001 depending on the size of the unit. The building has been rated [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Platinum.<ref name="ambitious">{{cite web |url=https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/future-nyc/battery-park-city-looks-ambitious-sustainable-future-see-greenest-buildings-apartments-here/46521 |title=Battery Park City looks to an ambitious and sustainable future: See its greenest buildings and apartments here |date=November 8, 2022 |website=City Realty |access-date=January 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230117010721/https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/future-nyc/battery-park-city-looks-ambitious-sustainable-future-see-greenest-buildings-apartments-here/46521 |archive-date=January 17, 2023}}</ref> The energy conserving building design is 35% more energy-efficient than code requires, resulting in a 67% lower electricity demand during peak hours, resulting in, among other benefits, lower electric bills for residents. Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electricity, supplemented by a computerized building management system and environmentally responsible operating and maintenance practices to further reduce the building's environmental impact.

Brookfield Place's ground floor and portions of the second floor are occupied by a mall; its center point is a steel-and-glass atrium known as the [[Winter Garden Atrium|Winter Garden]]. Outside of the Winter Garden lies a sizeable [[yacht]] harbor on the Hudson known as North Cove.

The building's original developer was [[Olympia and York]] of [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]]. It used to be named the World Financial Center, but in 2014, the complex was given its current name following the completion of extensive renovations. The World Financial Center complex was built by [[Olympia and York]] between 1982 and 1988;<ref name="great" /> it was damaged in the September 11 attacks but later repaired. It has six constituent buildings – [[200 Liberty Street]], [[225 Liberty Street]], [[200 Vesey Street]], [[250 Vesey Street]], the Winter Garden Atrium, and [[One North End Avenue]] (a.k.a. the [[New York Mercantile Exchange]] building).
