Union Bank Plaza, International Style skyscraper in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The Union Bank Plaza rises 157 meters with 40 floors and features a facade of glass and steel following International Style principles.
The structure, completed in 1968, marked the first skyscraper constructed in Los Angeles central business district after the 1957 height restriction repeal.
The three-acre modernist plaza, created by landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, incorporates concrete planters, grass areas, and water features at its third level.
