Park Plaza Condominiums

The Park Plaza Condominiums features 14 floors with individual balconies or lanais, offering one and two-bedroom residences in seven different layouts.

Construction began in May 1963 with two 165-foot elevators, followed by floor-by-floor assembly of the steel frame, completing in June 1964 at a cost of $3 million.

The building marked a transition in Albuquerque's residential preferences during the 1960s, introducing luxury apartment living to the local housing market.

Located one block south of Central Avenue near Downtown Albuquerque, the building contains 130 units with prices ranging from $140,000 to $265,000 as of 2009.

Originally constructed as rental apartments, the building transformed into condominiums in 1979, becoming the tallest residential structure in New Mexico at 160 feet.
