Kincaid Towers

Kincaid Towers is an office skyscraper in Lexington that rises 22 stories with a polished buff concrete exterior and blue-tinted glass facade. The building includes multiple terrace levels stacked at different heights, creating a layered appearance as you look up its face.

Construction began in 1973 and the building opened in 1979, making it the tallest structure in central Kentucky for the following eight years. This completion marked an important moment in the city's development during the late 1970s.

The tower's construction site became a filming location for the movie Steel in 1978, marking its role in American cinema history.

The building connects directly to the adjacent Hyatt Regency Hotel and Lexington Center through a covered skywalk. This connection makes it easy to move between the three locations without going outside, especially helpful during bad weather.

The ninth floor houses an advanced computer and electro-mechanical energy system based on technology derived from aerospace research. This system demonstrates how space program innovations found their way into the daily operations of an urban office building.
