Genesee Towers, Former office tower in Flint, United States.
Description
Genesee Towers was a 19-story office building in downtown Flint that opened in 1968 and contained about 172,000 square feet of office space. The structure consisted of two separate sections divided by an air gap, creating the visual effect of stacked towers.
History
The building was constructed in 1968 during a period of economic growth and was the first office tower built in Flint since 1929. It represented a symbol of the city's business expansion during that era.
Culture
The building housed the University Club on its upper levels, a gathering spot where local professionals met and networked. The club was an important social hub for the city's business community for many years.
Practical
The site had parking available in the lower levels of the building, making it convenient for visitors arriving by car. In recent years, safety concerns led to street closures and eventually the structure was condemned by the city.
Did you know?
The building earned its name despite being composed of two separate structures divided by an air gap that was left intentionally between them. This unconventional design was a bold architectural approach used during the 1960s.
