The New York Mercantile Exchange relocated from 4 World Trade Center to One North End Avenue in 1997,^[3] after the directors of the exchange had considered moving to New Jersey for several years.^[4] Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the building suffered minor damage.^[5] After 9/11, four American flags were affixed to the top corners of the building.

In 2013 Brookfield Properties purchased the building for US$200 million^[6] and merged it with the rest of the complex.^[7] As the Brookfield Place had previously been named and is still commonly referred to as the World Financial Center by some, One North End Avenue has sometimes been called Five World Financial Center.
