Plaza of the Americas, Commercial skyscraper in City Center District, Dallas, US

Plaza of the Americas is a mixed-use complex on a 5.5-acre site in downtown Dallas, built 1978–1980 for $100 million. Two 25-story office towers with dark gray glass cladding face a poured-in-place concrete hotel and garage, all joined by a 120,000 sq ft skylighted atrium rising 13 stories above the lowest level. The 26-story Univision Center stands across Crockett Street.

Construction began in 1978 and completed in 1980 as part of downtown Dallas development. The project transformed the area by introducing a modern office and commercial hub to the city center.

The complex has hosted sculpture shows, conventions and the Texas Open Squash Tournament. Its name comes from the Pan-American theme of the development, and the enclosed atrium functions as an indoor park with two retail levels around it, where office workers and hotel guests cross paths daily.

The complex connects to the downtown pedestrian network and sits near a public transit station for easy access. Visitors can reach it comfortably on foot from nearby buildings or by car from main city streets.

A fourth 26-story tower, Plaza of the Americas IV, was planned across Crockett Street and in 1989 raised to 42 stories, but it was never built. The complex also received tax-exempt bond financing after promising the city 100 housing units above the garage within five years.
