Low & Brothers imported teas porcelain and silks from China and Japan. His firm was originally housed on Fletcher Street in New York City. It moved to new quarters the A.A. Low building which he erected on John street in 1849-50. Once established in New York Low went on to invest in numerous other ventures including the first Atlantic cable and the Nickel Plate Railroad. Among A.A. Low's speculative investments were the Garfield Building as well as financial institutions such as the Dime Savings Bank and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. Another of his projects the Franklin Building is a seven and a half story Romanesque Revival Building.
