Whitacre Tower, Skyscraper in Downtown Dallas, United States

Whitacre Tower, also known as One AT&T Plaza, is a 37-story, 177-metre office high-rise in Downtown Dallas, built in 1981–1984 to designs by HLM Design and JPJ Architects. Its facade is clad in Continental Buff Travertine and glass, with a flat main slab, dark horizontal window bands down the right portion, and a lower stone wing with arched windows at the base. It holds over 1,000,000 square feet of office space.

The tower was completed in 1984 on land that previously held the Oriental Hotel and later the Baker Hotel before its demolition in 1980. This location transformed from a historic hotel district to a modern corporate center.

AT&T moved the gilded Spirit of Communication statue to the tower from its Bedminster, New Jersey, offices, and in 2009 renamed the building after Edward Whitacre Jr., a former chairman and chief executive. The tower is the headquarters of AT&T and of Southwestern Bell Telephone, which trades as "AT&T Southwest".

The tower stands at 208 South Akard Street, next to the Akard Street Mall in Downtown Dallas. It is an office building for AT&T and Southwestern Bell Telephone, not a public attraction; visitors should not expect a publicly accessible lobby or observation deck. The 37 floors and 580-foot height are best seen from the street.

The Spirit of Communication, a gold statue, was moved to the tower from AT&T's Bedminster, New Jersey, offices after the company relocated its headquarters here from San Antonio in 2008. The building was renamed Whitacre Tower in 2009 for Edward Whitacre Jr., a former chairman and chief executive.
