The sponsors and developers, the Hilton Hotels Corporation and the Metropolitan Structures, Inc., signed a contract on July 25, 1964. The hotel was expected to cost $12 million and to contain 500 to 800 rooms in two towers. The first tower was scheduled to be completed by mid-1966. The head architect of the project was William B.
