Thanksgiving Tower

Architect: Harwood K. Smith & Partners

Rising from the center of downtown, the 50-story Thanksgiving Tower is located on Elm Street. On the North side across Pacific Avenue, the tower faces Thanks-Giving Square for which the tower is named. The office tower has a distinctive cut back exterior design and clad in olive black reflective glass; the building's design is a departure from common rectangular office. The tower was built in a tight location between two other high-rises, and the cut back design was essential to reduce the size of the tower. The dark glass band spanning completely around the 48th floor near the top of the tower features floor to ceiling windows and represents the Tower Club famous for weddings, private parties and corporate events. The tower includes access to shops and restaurants through the underground tunnel network and a six-level underground parking garage is located directly beneath the office building.
