First Place Tower

First Place Tower is a 41-story office building that rises in downtown Tulsa at the intersection of East Fifth Street and Boston Avenue. The structure contains substantial commercial office space and ranks among the city's tallest buildings.

The building was completed in 1973 and briefly held the title of tallest structure in Tulsa before other buildings surpassed it a few years later. Its construction reflected a wave of vertical development in the city's business district during that era.

The tower is a visual anchor in downtown Tulsa's business district, where its modern form stands among older buildings along Boston Avenue. Its presence shapes how people experience the heart of the city.

The tower is located centrally downtown and easy to spot, situated at a prominent street intersection that serves as a landmark. Visitors can view the exterior from nearby Boston Avenue or pass by from surrounding streets in the business district.

The building shares an address with the First National Bank Building, though the two structures maintain separate entrances and distinct orientations. This unusual arrangement often surprises visitors who may not realize that two major office towers occupy the same physical location.
