History
20th century
In 1984, AT&T moved out of its adjacent headquarters at 195 Broadway.[6] The block bounded by Fulton, Church, and Dey Streets and Broadway, including 195 Broadway, was sold for $70 million to Peter Kalikow.[7] Kalikow demolished two smaller structures near the block's western boundary. He considered two plans—those for an office building and for a hotel—switching between the plans before finally deciding upon a hotel.[8] Kalikow built The Millenium Hotel at a cost of $200 million[9] and it opened on June 10, 1992.[10] Kalikow chose to intentionally misspell the name with one "n" as "Millenium" on the outdoor signage and official literature, even though the correct spelling of the English word is "millennium", in order to make the name more distinctive.[11]
Soon after the hotel opened, Kalikow went into bankruptcy and was forced to sell it. Kalikow Fulton Church Realty sold the Millenium Hotel to Singapore-based City Developments Limited (CDL) in June 1994, for $75 million.[12] At that time, Hilton began managing the property as The Millenium Hilton.[13]
