Plaza Tower, Skyscraper in New Orleans, US
The Plaza Tower rises 531 feet into the New Orleans skyline with 45 floors, marking its place as the third tallest building in Louisiana.
Construction of the Plaza Tower began in 1964 and completed in 1969, initially combining office spaces with residential units before converting entirely to offices in 1984.
The Plaza Tower represents a period of urban development in New Orleans during the late 1960s, reflecting the architectural trends of that era.
The building contains 485,000 square feet of total space and stands at the intersection of Howard and Loyola Avenues in downtown New Orleans.
Since 2002, the Plaza Tower remains sealed and unused due to environmental concerns, including asbestos and toxic mold contamination.
