Amoco Building, Office tower in Central Business District, New Orleans, United States
The Orleans Tower, formerly Amoco Building, rises 280 feet with 20 floors featuring black aluminum and glass curtain walls at 1340 Poydras Street.
The building emerged in 1977 during a period when New Orleans started constructing high-rise buildings on its characteristically soft soil foundation.
The structure represents the International architectural movement of the 1960s and 1970s, following design principles established by the Seagram Building in New York.
The tower contains 378,895 square feet of office space, houses government agencies including the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office, and features ten elevators.
The building ranks as the 28th tallest structure in New Orleans and maintains retail spaces at ground level while government offices occupy upper floors.
