Poydras Center

Poydras Center is an office tower with 27 floors and glass walls that rises at the intersection of St. Charles Avenue and Poydras Street in downtown New Orleans. Inside, it holds office spaces, eight levels of parking, a café, and support services for its tenants.

The tower was built in 1983 during a wave of commercial growth that transformed downtown New Orleans into a modern business district. It represents the city's shift toward corporate development during that era.

The tower sits beside Lafayette Square Park, where its contemporary glass facade contrasts with the older buildings around it that shape the downtown streetscape.

The building is centrally located and easy to reach, with covered parking available inside for visitors and workers. A café and other amenities are on-site, making it convenient for those spending time there.

The building occupies the intersection known as the most desirable commercial address in the Central Business District. This location marks the heart of downtown commerce in New Orleans.
