Whitacre Tower

Whitacre Tower, Corporate skyscraper in Downtown Dallas, United States.

Whitacre Tower, also known as One AT&T Plaza, is a modern 37-story office building in Downtown Dallas with a striking white stone and glass exterior. The tower contains extensive office spaces and connects directly to the Akard Street Mall, making it an integrated part of the downtown district.

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.

The Spirit of Communication gold statue in the main lobby symbolizes the connection between people and technology across distances. It serves as a reminder of the building's role in advancing global communication.

The building is centrally located and easily accessible on foot, as it connects to major pedestrian walkways in Downtown Dallas. The interior is primarily designed for office work, though the main lobby with the statue is open to the public.

The gold statue was originally created for and displayed in New Jersey before being moved to this location, showing how the company valued its significance. This relocation reflects the building's importance as a symbol of AT&T's corporate presence in the region.
