Facts
This is the tallest all-glass building in the Western Hemisphere.
Double-level skylobbies at floors 34/35 and 57/58 offer public views during business hours.
The building's footprint forms an abstracted version of the shape of a dollar sign.
The design partner for Wells Fargo Plaza was Richard Keating.
In 1983, Hurricane Alicia threw this all-glass skyscraper a somewhat ironic twist of fate, as the building suffered minimal facade damage in comparison to neighboring skyscrapers.
KRIV-TV maintains a skycam which is stationed on the small antenna atop the building.
