Wedge International Tower

Wedge International Tower, Office skyscraper in downtown Houston, United States

Wedge International Tower is a 43-story, 551-foot (168 m) skyscraper at 1415 Louisiana in downtown Houston, completed in 1983 and designed jointly by 3D/International and Nasr/Penton & Associates. Its form steps inward in four setbacks, and since November 1995 a lighting scheme has outlined the tower, once in neon green after the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas. The 43rd floor holds the Strato 550 restaurant and bar.

The tower was constructed in the early 1980s and initially operated under different names including Southwest Bank of Texas Building and Unitedbank Plaza. The building's identity shifted over time as ownership and corporate tenants changed.

The tower's neon green outline lighting was installed in November 1995, inspired by similar lighting on the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas. The scheme has marked the Houston skyline at night since then. The building is named after its main tenant, WEDGE Commercial Properties, which bought it in October 1994 and made it its headquarters.

The tower stands at 1415 Louisiana Street in downtown Houston, a former address that became one of its names. The restaurant and bar Strato 550 occupies the 43rd floor, one of the highest lounges in the city. The rest of the 43 floors are leased office space, so visitors go up for the lounge rather than for general sightseeing.
