Plaza Tower is a 45-story, 531-foot (162 m) skyscraper in New Orleans, Louisiana, designed in the modern style by Leonard R. Spangenberg, Jr. & Associates. Located in the Central Business District (CBD), it is the third tallest building in both the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.
Subsequent failed redevelopment proposals renamed the building Crescent City Towers and Crescent City Residences.
The building has been unused since 2002 because of toxic mold and asbestos, which have since been remediated.
