San Felipe Plaza

San Felipe Plaza is an office tower in Houston's Uptown district with 45 floors of contemporary workspace beneath a modern glass exterior. The building provides substantial floor space designed for corporate and international business operations.

The tower was completed in 1984 by the architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill as part of Houston's western expansion. Its construction helped establish Uptown as a major business district separate from Downtown.

The building hosts international organizations, including the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service Office, contributing to Houston's business environment.

The building features modern elevator systems that serve all floors efficiently for anyone inside. Access is generally limited to business purposes, and casual visitors should check with the building management before attempting entry.

The building ranks among the tallest structures outside Downtown Houston and stands out in the Uptown skyline. Its prominence in the western part of the city makes it a recognizable reference point when navigating the area.
