Albuquerque Plaza
Albuquerque Plaza is a major mixed-use high-rise development on the south side of Civic Plaza in downtown
Albuquerque, New Mexico. It consists of two towers connected at ground level by a two-story promenade containing retail space. The taller of the two towers contains Class A office space, while the shorter one houses the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque hotel. The office tower has 22 stories and rises to a height of 351 ft (107 m), making it the tallest building in New Mexico by a considerable margin. The hotel tower, with 21 stories, is the state’s second tallest building at 256 ft (78 m). The height, color, and distinctive pyramidal roofs of the two towers make them the focal point of the Albuquerque skyline. Albuquerque Plaza was designed by Hellmuth, Obata, & Kassabaum and built in 1990.
