USACompleted 1979 Height Antenna spire N/A Roof 440 feet (134 m) Technical details Floor count 32 Floor area Office: 650,000 square feet (60,387 m2) Design and construction Architect August Perez & Associates One Canal Place, located at 365 Canal Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 32-story, 440 feet (134 m)-tall skyscraper. The building contains The Shops at Canal Place shopping mall and is attached to The Westin New Orleans Canal Place, with which it shares a parking garage. During the colonial era before levees were constructed, the land occupied by the Canal Place complex was commonly covered by the waters of the Mississippi River. In the 1720s, a windmill was constructed near what is now Canal Street and North Peters Street. By the 20th Century, the land was occupied by the American Sugar Refinery facilities. These 19th Century warehouses as well as Crossman Street (parallel to Canal Street) were removed to allow the construction of One Canal Place.[1] Phase 1 of the Canal Place project resulted in the construction of the office tower in 1979. The Saks Fifth Avenue and Westin were constructed in 1982-3 as Phase 2. Plans are currently in the works for Canal Place Phase 3, a $220 million project which will feature a new mixed-use high-rise tower.

The Shops at Canal Place
The lower 3 levels of the One Canal Place are occupied by The Shops at Canal Place, one of two shopping malls in downtown New Orleans (the other is the Riverwalk Marketplace). The mall contains a Saks Fifth Avenue, Landmark Theatre, food court and approximately 45 high-end retailers. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a fire inflicted heavy damage to the Saks Fifth Avenue. The mall reopened in February 2006, and a completely remodeled Saks reopened in November.[2]
