Facts
The main lobby is a 5-story atrium on the diagonal side, facing the plaza. On the other sides the lobby is open to the tunnel system below.
Tallest building in the United States west of the Mississippi River from 1982-1990; surpassed by the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles.
The JPMorganChase Tower is the tallest building in Texas.
The Joan Miro sculpture in its plaza is entitled Personage and Birds.
Tallest five-sided building in the world.
There is a two-story skylobby on the 60th floor with a free observation deck overlooking downtown and southwest Houston. It is open during business hours.
When completed it was the tallest building outside New York and Chicago, and the seventh tallest building in the world.
In the original design for this tower, 80 floors were to have been built. However, the floor count would be reduced to 75 because the FAA felt that 80 floors would place aircraft at risk flying in and out of William P. Hobby Airport.
Miro's original "Personage and Birds" sculpture model is in the 60th floor skylobby along with two other sculptures that were considered for the plaza.
For years, the roof was home to a helipad that was rarely, if ever used.
This building lost over 4 dozen windows to 2005's Hurricane Rita, and in 2008 it lost 513 to Hurricane Ike. The damage caused by the latter storm was repaired over the course of 59 days at a cost of $5 Million.
