Park Plaza Condominiums

Park Plaza Condominiums is a 14-story residential tower in Albuquerque featuring individual balconies on each unit. The building contains 130 apartments arranged in seven different floor plans to suit various household sizes.

Construction of the tower began in May 1963 and was completed by June 1964 with a steel frame assembled floor by floor. The project represented a shift toward multi-family residential development in the city during this era.

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

The building sits one block south of Central Avenue near Downtown Albuquerque and is easily accessible on foot. Its location provides convenient access to nearby shops and services in the surrounding area.

The tower was originally built as rental apartments but was converted to condominiums in 1979. At approximately 50 meters (160 feet) tall, it was the tallest residential structure in the state for several years.
