JPMC Tower
JPMorgan Chase Tower, located at 600 Travis in Downtown Houston, was designed by I.M. Pei & Associates and 3D International. It was completed in 1981 and is 75 stories (1,049 feet) tall, just shy of three and a half football fields. The tower has 1.98 million square feet of gross office space.
The office tower is clad in pale gray polished granite, stainless steel, and gray glass. The western corner of the tower has been sheared off to form a five-sided structure. The western facet of the tower is formed by an 85-foot wide free span of glass that ascends the full height of the building. The lobby of JPMorgan Chase Tower was designed to harmonize not only with the structure’s height but also with the portico of Jones Hall. For that reason, a story class wall supported by a stainless steel space frame spans the entire 85-foot width of the front entrance, making the lobby area light and airy and opening up the space to the plaza outside.
