Tower Plaza is the tallest building in Ann Arbor. Its height proved controversial and motivated the city to adopt a height limit soon after its construction. It presents a solid face on the west side, and a narrow column of windows in the center of the east side.
On a clear day, someone looking out from the highest floors can see the Renaissance Center in Detroit, about 40 miles away.
