American Center, Skyscraper in Southfield, Michigan, US.
The American Center features 26 stories of golden glass panels with chamfered corners and stands 331 feet tall in the Detroit metropolitan area.
Constructed in 1975, this office tower initially served as the headquarters for American Motors Corporation until Chrysler Corporation acquired the company in 1987.
The building represents the architectural evolution of Detroit's suburbs during the 1970s when businesses started relocating from downtown to peripheral areas.
The building contains retail spaces and a parking garage, with direct access to major transportation routes including Interstate 696, M-10, and US 24.
The elevator core of the building rotates 45 degrees from the main tower axis, creating an unexpected structural configuration.
