One Tampa City Center, Modern skyscraper in Tampa, United States.
One Tampa City Center is a 39-story office tower in downtown Tampa's financial district, standing approximately 537 feet (164 meters) tall. The glass and steel structure dominates the skyline and houses multiple corporate offices and financial firms.
The building opened in 1981 as Florida's tallest structure, a distinction it held until 1984 when another skyscraper surpassed its height. This marked a significant shift in the state's construction ambitions during the 1980s.
The building's glass exterior reflects the surrounding cityscape and marks a transition in Tampa's downtown identity, shifting from a port-based economy to financial services and corporate business.
The tower sits in the heart of downtown Tampa's business core, easily accessible from major pedestrian areas and nearby streets. Its central location makes it a reference point for navigating the surrounding financial district.
Architect Welton Becket incorporated a distinctive glass and steel panel system that creates shifting light reflections across the facade throughout the day. This design approach influenced how subsequent skyscrapers in Tampa were constructed.
